While the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force has a national focus, it recognizes the tremendous importance of actions taken at the regional, state, and local levels to achieve national aquatic nuisance species solutions. The Regional Panels established by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force are a critical and effective mechanism for achieving the goals of the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force and foster collaboration among states to address regional aquatic nuisance species threats and ongoing invasions.
