Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas

CISMAs are an alliance of stakeholders addressing invasive species management regionally within Florida.
Partnering across the landscape, CISMAs are working to:

  • Expand efforts across the landscape, rather than stopping at political or property boundaries.
  • Form partnerships of federal, state, and local government agencies, tribes, individuals and interested organizations that manage invasive species.
  • Address prevention, early detection and rapid response, monitoring, management, and education and awareness of invasive species.
