GLIN==> NECIS Launches New Web Resource on Invasive Species

The National Environmental Coalition on Invasive Species Unveils New
Web-based Resource on Invasive Species

The National Environmental Coalition on Invasive Species, a coalition of 17
not-for-profit organizations dedicated to fighting invasive species, has
launched a newly redesigned website and resource on invasive species.  The
site, http://www.necis.net/, is a dynamic source of news and information
about invasive species, featuring updates on current NECIS initiatives and
timely information on how to help improve invasive species policies across
the nation.  NECIS hopes that the new site will enhance cooperation and
communication between member groups and the public, and will better support
the Coalition's mission to promote sound policy to prevent harmful invasive
species from being introduced, becoming established, and spreading across
the United States.
