Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Invasive Species

The Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Invasive Species (FICMIS) is a U.S. government group that coordinates efforts across various agencies to address the threats posed by invasive species. These are non-native plants, animals, or pathogens that can harm local ecosystems, economies, and human health. FICMIS aims to enhance collaboration, share research, and develop strategies to prevent, control, and manage invasive species. By fostering cooperation among federal, state, and tribal partners, the committee seeks to protect biodiversity and promote the sustainable use of natural resources.
