- Mission [1]
- Consistent with the requirements of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (NANCPA), the Aquatic
Nuisance Species Task Force (ANSTF) helps the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service support and fulfill its mission by focusing on
aquatic nuisance species (ANS) issues through coordination with many other affected entities at the Federal, regional, State,
and local levels. The ANSTF helps the Service to develop, approve, and implement the overall ANS Program as well as its projects
and activities. The ANSTF is a focal point for information about ANS, activities to prevent their introduction into and spread
within North America, and efforts to control them. It encourages and facilitates cooperative efforts to address nationally
significant ANS problems and concerns.
