Executive Order 13112 on Invasive
Species (EO 13112) was issued in 1999
and established the National Invasive
Species Council (NISC) which is cochaired by the Secretaries of the
Interior, Agriculture and Commerce. EO
13112 directed the Secretary of the
Interior to establish an Invasive Species
Advisory Committee (ISAC) composed
of diverse nonfederal stakeholders to
advise NISC. The broad mission of NISC
is to provide planning, coordination and
national leadership to prevent and
control the harmful impacts of invasive
species to the economy, the
environment as well as animal and
human health.
Section 5 of EO 13112 directed NISC
to issue the National Invasive Species
Management Plan, as well as to revise
and update the Plan on a regular basis.
The first version of the National
Invasive Species Management Plan,
‘‘Meeting the Challenge’’, was issued in
January of 2001 (2001 Plan). The
purpose of the Plan was to provide a
general blueprint for federal action in
coordination with State, local, Tribal,
and private programs and international
cooperation to prevent the introduction
of invasive species, provide for their
control and minimize the economic,
environmental and human health
impacts.
This document is the first revision of
the 2001 Plan, as mandated by EO
13112. The 2008–2012 National
Invasive Species Management Plan
(2008 Plan) will provide direction for
federal efforts (including overall strategy
and objectives) to prevent, control and
minimize invasive species and their
impacts within the next five (5) fiscal
years (2008 through 2012). If necessary,
it may be updated more frequently to
reflect changes in circumstances, agency
plans and priorities. NISC member
agencies, ISAC members, NISC staff,
stakeholders and other experts have
provided input in drafting this revision,
which is intended to replace the 2001
Plan.
Federal, State, local and Tribal
governments, as well as the private
sector, have taken significant steps to
meet the challenges posed by invasive
species. These steps set the stage for the
2008 Plan and provide direction and
focus. An estimated 67% of the 2001
Plan’s 57 action items have been
completed or are in progress. However
significant challenges remain and much
remains to be done to prevent and
control invasive species in a

coordinated and cost efficient manner.
Long-range strategic planning,
consistent with other government
agencies’ strategic plans is necessary to
address complex invasive species
issues. The 2008 Plan establishes five,
long-term Strategic Goals that focus
Federal efforts in the areas of invasive
species work related to:
(1) Prevention;
(2) Early Detection and Rapid
Response;
(3) Control and Management;
(4) Restoration; and
(5) Organizational Collaboration.
The Strategic Goals are ongoing and
serve as guideposts for managing
invasive species. Each Strategic Goal
has an associated Strategic Action Plan
with long-term Objectives and shorterterm Implementation Tasks and
Performance Elements. Where
practicable, Implementation Tasks
define specific Performance Elements
that can be used to gauge progress. Work
in Research, Information and Data
Management and International
Cooperation (which were addressed in
separate sections in the 2001 Plan) are
elements critical to achieving each of
the five Strategic Goals and are included
in the pertinent sections of the 2008
Plan.
The 2008 Plan is not a comprehensive
list of all Federal invasive species
actions. It is a targeted set of priority
Strategic Action Plans and Objectives
that are intended to be completed in the
next five years. The accomplishment of
specific Implementation Tasks and
Performance Elements will be
dependent upon agency budgets, and in
some cases, legal or regulatory changes.
Invasive species issues cannot be
addressed by Federal programs and
actions alone. As reflected in EO 13112,
State, local, Tribal and private programs
and policies are critical to success.
Therefore, receiving public comment on
this proposed 2008 Plan is an important
component of any strategy to address
and reduce the harmful impacts of
invasive species.
