The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering this grant to fund critical research focused on mapping the distribution of non-native Phragmites australis across the vast Great Lakes basin. This grant is specifically for the purpose of bolstering current adaptive management efforts aimed at controlling invasive species, and crucially, to provide a tangible metric for evaluating the effectiveness of ongoing Phragmites control initiatives. The urgency of this work stems from the explicit identification of invasive species, with Phragmites being a prime example, as a high-priority need within the GLRI Action Plan II and numerous other significant regional, national, and binational environmental programs.
