 | Executive Order (E.O.) 13112, Invasive Species (February 3, 1999) directs Federal agencies to “prevent the introduction of invasive species, provide for their control, and to minimize the economic, ecological, and human health impacts that invasive species cause.”  NRCS policy (190-GM, Part 414) is consistent with this EO and also requires that no actions be authorized, funded, or carried out that is believed to or is likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the U.S. or elsewhere. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Coral Reefs

 | The National Invasive Species Council (NISC) and Invasive Species Advisory Committee (ISAC) were formed to define how the objectives of the E.O. will be carried out.  As defined in E.O. 13112, invasive species are species, not native to a particular ecosystem, whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.  Invasive species may include all terrestrial and aquatic life forms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microbial organisms.  NRCS policy states that a plant species is considered “invasive" only when it occurs on the Federal or State-specific noxious weed list or a list developed by the State-specific Department of Agriculture with their partners and approved by the State Technical Committee which prohibits or cautions its use due to invasive qualities. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | ●Essential Fish Habitat

 | Invasive species are reducing the economic productivity and ecological integrity of our Nation’s lands and waters.  The rate of introduction of such species has risen markedly with costs to society growing commensurately.  Invasive species harm native species and their habitats, degrade renewable resources, and diminish productive capacity of agricultural lands including cropland, forestlands, rangelands, and pasturelands.  They negatively impact a wide variety of human activities and needs. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Guide Sheet |  |  | Fact Sheet

 | Recognizing and addressing the presence of invasive species is an integral part of the conservation planning process and implementing NRCS policy and any existing county, State, or Federal regulations concerning noxious and/or invasive species.  At a minimum, the conservation plan includes: 1) an inventory of invasive species; 2) a map outlining the affected areas; 3) Identification of control/restoration strategies, and; 4) analysis of their impacts. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | ●Wild and Scenic Rivers
