Coping with Biological Invaders in New York.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation partners with resource managers, non-governmental organizations, industry professionals, recreational groups, and other state agencies to combat invasive species. Eight Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISMs) exist across New York State and work to prevent or minimize the harm caused by invasive species on New York’s environment. New York State, authorized under Title 17, Environmental Conservation Law 9-1705(5)(g), has formed and funded PRISMs in their efforts to address invasive species.
