SouthwestInvasiveSpecies.org is a launching point for web sites intended for disseminating information and coordinating activities related to the control of aquatic invasive species in the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service's Southwest Region.

The buttons to the left will take you to other web sites developed and managed in partnership with agencies and organizations at the federal, state, and local levels with interests in environmental conservation and protection of our natural, economic, and recreational resources. These web sites provide useful information regarding projects and activities designed to reduce, minimize, control, and/or prevent the spread of invasive species and the many negative impacts that often result when species establish populations beyond their native range.
