To achieve these goals, NECIS supports the development and implementation of needed policy reforms. By conducting policy advocacy, research and analysis, and outreach and education, NECIS seeks to make the case that we can effectively address the challenges posed by invasive species and to drive the development of the policies and programs necessary to predict and prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species in the United States.
