Investigating Aquatic Invasive Species in the Mid-Atlantic Region

including Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia

The Mid-Atlantic Panel on Aquatic Invasive Species (MAPAIS) works to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species through science and management, policy, and education and outreach activities and initiatives. We help state, federal, and local agencies, non-profits, and private landowners in the Mid-Atlantic states tackle aquatic invasive species (AIS) issues by: identifying and prioritizing regional issues, coordinating local AIS programs, and assisting the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force in coordinating federal programs that promote effective methods of preventing and managing AIS introductions.
