Description:Aquatic invasive species are perhaps the greatest stressor currently facing the Great Lakes aquatic ecosystem, altering energy pathways, lowering food web and fisheries productivity, and costing millions of dollars annually in control and mitigation. NOAAs Great Lakes Aquatic Nonindigenous Species Information System (GLANSIS) is a searchable database with fact sheets, threat assessments, and maps designed to improve stakeholder education, and inform prevention, management and control of aquatic nonindigenous species (AIS). With 2018 funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) we proposed to conduct 3 specific pilot projects exploring potential new ‘value-added’ components of the database. Each of these 3 pilots were initially suggested by natural resource managers in the Great Lakes region. A 4th pilot was added at the request of the Risk Assessment Committee of the Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species.
