Cooperative Management of New Invasive Species
Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System
No complete distribution data for SoutheastHoles in USDA PLANTS
and now USDA Forest Service FIA dataSome data existed but not
compiled in one locationSE-EPPC could provide support for state
chaptersInvasive Plant List justificationState EPPCs could provide
EDRR frameworkCentral location for collection and storage of

Electronic Early Detection SystemEach state has a designated
reviewerResponsible for verifying all data entered in that
stateResponsible for notifying the appropriate people when a EDRR
species is reportedEach state can designate EDRR species that
automatically are flaggedEmail sent to designated persons within
the state when a EDRR species is reportedState EDRR Committees
Electronic Early Detection SystemState designated EDRR list vs.
SE-wide listState list allows for more specificitySpecies that are
common in one state may be a EDRR species in anotherExample garlic
mustardCommon in TN and KYEDRR species in GA and AL
EDDMapS2 years and going strongFurther compilation of collection
dataWorking toward collaboration between all of the mapping
projects underwayIntegration with ArcGIS software to output
shapefiles and more detailed mapsLooking for funding
opportunitiesInvasive Plant Atlas
Invasive Plant Atlas of New England
Invasive Plant Atlas of Mid-South
Invasive Atlas ConceptWeb-accessible databaseUpdated by network
of professionals and volunteersFacilitate education and
researchEarly Detection and Rapid Response
Invasive Plant Atlas of Atlantic Coast
Whats NextNext Talk Randy WestbrooksSE-EPPC using EDDMapS for
EDDRWould like to see MA-EPPC do the same
