(GLANSIS)
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
(NOAA) announces the activation of the Great Lakes
Aquatic
Nonindigenous Species Information System
(GLANSIS), a “one-stop” information source for
established
GLANSIS was developed as a partnership between NOAA and USGS (Florida
Integrated Science Center). The species
included in GLANSIS are based on the work of Edward Mills (Cornell
University) and Anthony Ricciardi (Redpath Museum, McGill
University). Anthony
Ricciardi and Rebekah M. Kipp (Redpath Museum, McGill University), and
David Raikow (formerly of NOAA), Erin Maynard (University of MI Summer
Intern), and James Liebig (NOAA) also contributed significant content
for individual species fact sheets. Support for this
project
has been provided by the NOAA Invasive Species
Program (Silver Spring, MD), the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental
Research Laboratory (Ann Arbor, MI) and the Great Lakes Fishery Trust
(Lansing, MI).
