Background In March, the event Phragmites Invasions in Michigan: A Symposium to Build Capacity for Management was held to share information and facilitate dialogue on phragmites management and control and innovative research. A principal outcome from the symposium was to inform development of a strategic framework to advance effective, sustainable management of invasive phragmites throughout the state of Michigan. The strategic framework will recommend key actions to advance phragmites management and control on a coordinated basis and will also identify roles, responsibilities and opportunities for implementation.
