Invasive Species: an organism (plant, animal, fungus, or bacterium) that is not native and has negative effects on our economy, our environment, and/or our health.
The FWC Wildlife Impact Management Section works to manage and minimize the impacts that nonnative species have on Florida’s fish, wildlife and marine life. FWC is the lead agency on state regulations and enforcement.
The Johnson Lab at the UF/IFAS provides extension information and resources related to invasive reptiles and amphibians in Florida
