Public involvement is important to invasive species management, both to prevent further introductions and to help detect and report invaders. However, people often do not become aware of an invasive species until it is well into the “containment” phase of the invasion curve. To address this lack of awareness, the Everglades CISMA produces outreach materials and communicates to the public through presentations, exhibits, direct mailings, and social media. Audiences include residents in targeted areas, field workers who are likely to detect invasive species, students, and environmental decision makers.
