Invasive Species Mapping Made Easy! EDDMapS, started in 2005 with Southeastern U.S. focus, is now providing a picture of the distribution of invasive plants across the U.S. Currently working with USFS to collect plant data and complete maps

This animal was photographed in Northeast Georgia. Can you tell us what it is and if it is just an albino of a native species or, in fact, a non-native animal? Thanks for you help. Jake Reid

But Who Cares?
Why is EDRR Important Total Size of Indiana = 23.3 Million Acres Indiana Farmlands = 15 Million Acres 2013 Acres in Soybeans = 5.3 Million Acres 2013 Soybean Production = 251 million bushels = $4.267 Billion (October 2013 Prices)
Kudzu Bug Impact Impact to Soybeans in Georgia is 10-30% If 10% in Indiana – $426.7 Million Dollars If 30% in Indiana – $1.28 Billion Dollars
Key Points Available Now! Fast and easy to use - no knowledge of GIS Aggregate data (not replace) from other systems Working toward “complete” county level distribution Tool/platform to Facilitate Early Detection and Rapid Response implementation with online data entry forms, e-mail alerts and network of expert verifiers
Key Points EDDMapS is a tool that can be used to enhance existing programs It is up and working now, and was built to be easily customizable It is not and was never meant to be in competition with NAPIS or IPHIS No regulated pests are mapped/displayed until verified (if ever)
Key Points One important point to remember is that the public needs something as easy as possible, thus integrating regulated pests with non regulatory plants make sense (IveGot1 model) However, we must all work together to make this happen and provide feedback to user when they report something
