Great Example of EDRR….

Or was it? We later found out that a Scott Ranger found it on May 10, 1989 and Chris Hughes did his Master’s Work on the population

So, what do we need?

Common Operating Platform

Easy Electronic Reporting

The National Platform for Invasive Species Early Detection and Mapping

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

Statistics for EDDMapS  1.2 million records  incl. 1,313,749 point records

 2,628 species  5,946 users (19,143 registered)  12 million hits in last year  762,520 visitors  Multiple submissions every day

Cooperation and Aggregation

Missouri River Watershed Coalition  EDRR species by state  Automatically notify State Weed Coordinators and County Weed Supervisors  Newly reported populations will not be shown until the report has been confirmed / validated.

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

Talking Points  How can we not recreate the wheel?  How do we ensure current distribution?  Who should we contact in your state?  How can we help you and your state’s needs?
