Invasive Species Management
It is estimated that there are approximately 50,000 foreign species in the United States and the number is growing. Invasive species cause significant impacts to ecosystems, private industry and commercial enterprises. In the U.S. alone, invading non-indigenous species cause environmental damages costing more than $138 billion per year. Additionally, invasive species have a substantial effect on native species. In fact, almost 42% of the federally threatened and endangered species are at risk, primarily because of non-indigenous species. Significant losses can also occur to agriculture, forestry, utilities, and many other segments of the economy.
ENTRIX is well-versed in the analysis of the effects of invasive species in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, recommending successful management solutions, and all associated permitting requirements. ENTRIX professionals have extensive experience developing management actions for very complex and controversial situations, the protection of imperiled species, utilizing on-the-ground control methods to eliminate invasive species and integrating the associated technical information into state and federal permitting documents. Identifying strategic pathways to address invasive species management is frequently critical to the resolution of many other natural resource management and conservation issues.
