    The (External) Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) information resource  for the (External) United States Geological Survey (USGS), located at the Center for Aquatic Resource Studies , has been established as a central repository for accurate and spatially referenced biogeographic accounts of nonindigenous aquatic species. Through the site you can obtain information, maps, or search the NAS database for information about different nonindigenous aquatic species.




    National Framework for Early Detection, Rapid Assessment, and Rapid Response to Invasive Species


    Welcome to the National Early Detection, Rapid Assessment, and Rapid Response Framework prototype developed and hosted by the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) Invasive Species Information Node .

    This Framework prototype consists of six main components:

    Each component of the National ED/RA/RR Framework prototype describes an activity associated with addressing the invasive species issue and provides access to resources reported in the National EDRR Needs Assessment Survey initiated in 2006. Additional resources cataloged by the NBII are also supplied.
