SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Information is collected from the public regarding the distribution 
of nonindigenous aquatic species, primarily fish, in open waters of the 
United States. This is vital information for early detection and rapid 
response for the possible eradication of organisms that may be 
considered invasive in a natural environment such as a lake, river, 
stream, and pond. These species are not native to the environment in 
which they are now found. Nonindigenous species can and do have 
negative impacts on our natives species. Early detection is a major 
focus of the Bureau. The public can help us with this task by serving 
as the ``eyes and ears'' for our Program because the USGS cannot 
possibly be everywhere, observing and monitoring all open waters for 
nonindigenous aquatic species.
    The USGS does not actively solicit this information; a form is 
posted on our Web site to be completed with biologic, geographic and 
sender information. It is completely voluntary and sent to us only when 
the public has encountered a nonindigenous aquatic organism, usually 
through fishing or some other outdoor recreational activity and they 
chose to let us know.
