National Invasive Species Council (NISC) | Vibepedia

The National Invasive Species Council (NISC) is a U.S. interagency coordinating body established by Executive Order 13112 in 1999. Its primary mission is to prevent, protect against, and control invasive species and their detrimental effects on the environment, economy, and human health. NISC brings together 13 federal agencies, including the Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, and Commerce, to develop and implement a national strategy. This involves coordinating research, management, and outreach efforts across federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as with non-governmental organizations and the private sector. The Council's work is crucial for safeguarding biodiversity and natural resources from the significant economic and ecological damage invasive species inflict.
