The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to a CESU partner for research identifying ‘hotspots’ – environments highly susceptible to exotic species invasion. This project aims to prioritize management and conservation efforts, mitigating future invasive species impacts across the U.S. and its territories. This grant is for an in-depth hotspot analysis, examining watersheds defined by public access, recreational waterbodies, human population densities, and urban landscapes. It will identify high-risk areas for freshwater exotic species, derived from watch lists, enabling targeted interventions against potential ecosystem threats.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in identifying invasion hotspots or environments with suitable conditions for exotic species is crucial for prioritizing management and conservation efforts in order to prevent or mitigate impacts from potential future invasive species. There are watersheds in the U.S. more susceptible to invasion defined by activities (e.g., public access, recreational waterbodies), concentrations of land uses (e.g., high human population densities and urban landscapes), and sometimes by interactions between the two. Through an invasion hotspot analysis, this project will identify those environments that are at highest risk of invasion of freshwater exotic species in the contiguous U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and island territories. The species being investigated will be derived from watch list species from horizon scanning processes, such as the Organisms in Trade, Transportation Pathway, and other regional and State efforts. |
