National Invasive Species Council

Invasive species threaten U.S. national security, food security, resources, and prosperity. The U.S. Federal Government spends billions of dollars each year to prevent and reduce the negative impacts from invasive species, and the actual cost to the Government and its citizens is much higher. The purpose of the National Invasive Species Council (NISC), comprised of the heads of 12 Federal departments and 4 White House Offices, is to make the Government's response to invasive species more efficient.
