Invasive Species Program - U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Activities to prevent and control invasive plant and animal species that severely impact the lands and waters of the United States, including resources managed within the National Wildlife Refuge System, have become a priority for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as we expand our efforts to conserve and protect our nation's native fish and wildlife habitats.

Minnesota Exotic aquatic plants & animals guide
Introducing species accidentally or intentionally, from one habitat into another, is risky business. Freed from the predators, parasites, pathogens, and competitors that have kept their numbers in check, species introduced into new habitats often overrun their new home and crowd out native species. In the presence of enough food and a favorable environment, their numbers will explode. Once established, exotics rarely can be eliminated.

Protect Your Waters and Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers.
Fishing, boating, scuba diving, and other recreational activities can spread aquatic nuisance species to new lakes, rivers, and streams. Nuisance species include zebra mussels, round gobies, spiny water fleas, whirling disease, rusty crayfish, Japanese shore crabs, sea lamprey, carp, ruffe, hydrilla, purple loosestrife, Asian clams, and other harmful aquatic plants or aquatic animals.

Restoration of Native Habitats - USFWS
For aquatic and terrestrial habitats, restoration of native plant and animal communities is an important part of the invasive species control solution. In many cases, native species have been extirpated from areas invested by invasive species and in order to return the balance of the ecosystem, restoration projects are conducted following removal of the exotic invasive species.

WDFW -- Non-Indigenous Aquatic Nuisance Species
Non-indigenous species (NIS) may be released or "introduced" into the marine, freshwater or terrestrial environment intentionally or unintentionally. Most non-native species are unable to form self-sustaining populations. However, if such species become established and thrive, they will influence the native flora and fauna and their habitats, and may affect the local economy.

WDFW -- The Zebra Mussel and European Green Crab Task Force Report
This report was created by the Zebra Mussel and European Green Crab Task Force and only exists due to the dedication of many individuals who were willing to assist in its development while attending to their regular workload. Tribal, state, federal and private organizations came together in the spirit of a true partnership to create this report. We thank all of the members of this task force for their contributions.
