Pacific Island Network Early Detection of Invasive Plant Species Dataset 2022

The goal of the PACN early detection monitoring plan is to locate potentially invasive populations at early stages of invasion to inform park resource managers so that appropriate action (i.e., eradication, containment, additional monitoring) may be implemented. The primary objective: Identify and find non-native species that should be rapidly responded to and eradicated if possible. Steps towards meeting primary objective: 1) Survey dispersal corridors and other high-risk sites for incipient populations of potentially invasive plants. 2) Provide timely information to park managers regarding the presence of new and potentially invasive plant species in order to facilitate a rapid management response. 3) Update and maintain NPSpecies (https://irma.nps.gov/NPSpecies/), the plant species database for each park, including new species detected during field surveys. 4) Develop and distribute invasive plant outreach materials to park staff to increase awareness and reporting capability.
