This USGS Cooperative Agreement Grant is for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct a national horizon scan. The grant’s purpose is to identify exotic plants and invertebrates entering the United States via the hitchhiking pathway. The project aims to provide synthesis and empirical data on aquatic plant metrics that facilitate the introduction of these hitchhiking organisms. This critical research will enhance understanding of invasive species transport, supporting the development of effective strategies to prevent their entry. Ultimately, this effort safeguards U.S. ecosystems and biodiversity from harmful non-native species.
