Advisory Committee Scope and
Objectives
The purpose and role of the ISAC are
to provide advice to the National
Invasive Species Council (NISC), as
authorized by Executive Order 13112,
on a broad array of issues including
preventing the introduction of invasive
species, providing for their control, and
minimizing the economic, ecological,
and human health impacts that invasive
species cause. NISC is Co-chaired by the
Secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture,
and Commerce, and is charged with
providing coordination, planning and
leadership regarding invasive species
issues. Pursuant to the Executive Order,
NISC developed a 2008–2012 National
Invasive Species Management Plan
(Plan), which is available on the Web at
https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/
council/nmp.shtml. NISC is responsible
for effective implementation of the Plan
including any revisions of the Plan, and
also coordinates Federal agency
activities concerning invasive species;
encourages planning and action at local,
tribal, State, regional and ecosystembased levels; develops
recommendations for international
cooperation in addressing invasive
species; facilitates the development of a
coordinated network to document,
evaluate, and monitor impacts from
invasive species; and facilitates
establishment of an information-sharing
system on invasive species that utilizes,
to the greatest extent practicable, the
Internet.
The role of ISAC is to maintain an
intensive and regular dialogue regarding
the aforementioned issues. ISAC
provides advice in cooperation with
stakeholders and existing organizations
addressing invasive species. The ISAC
meets up to three (3) times per year.
Terms for five of the current members
of the ISAC will expire in October 2009.
After consultation with the other
members of NISC, the Secretary of the
Interior will actively solicit new
nominees and appoint members to
ISAC. Prospective members of ISAC

Prospective nominees should also

economy whose routine operations may
pose risks of new or expanded
biological invasions (e.g., shipping,
forestry, horticulture, aquaculture, pet
trade, etc.); developing natural resource
management plans on regional or
ecosystem-level scales; addressing
invasive species issues, including
prevention, control and monitoring, in
multiple ecosystems and on multiple
scales; integrating science and the
human dimension in order to create
effective solutions to complex
conservation issues including
education, outreach, and public
relations experts; coordinating diverse
groups of stakeholders to resolve
complex environmental issues and
conflicts; and complying with NEPA
and other Federal requirements for
public involvement in major
conservation plans. Members will be
selected in order to achieve a balanced
representation of viewpoints, so to
effectively address invasive species
issues under consideration. No member
may serve on the ISAC for more than
two (2) consecutive terms. All terms
will be limited to three (3) years in
length.
