From the Background: "Invasive species have been identified as one of the four critical threats to the Nation's ecosystems.... The broad geographic area sampled by the Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMAP) provides an excellent opportunity to detect aquatic invasive plants and animals on federal lands while surveying streams in the Northwest Forest Plan area (NWFP)...." From the Results: "During the 2009 field season (June through September) AREMAP field crews surveyed for aquatic invasive species in 189 stream reaches throughout 28 unique watersheds, in addition to performing our standard watershed monitoring protocol. ... a total of 17 detections were verified."
