>> This source is the World Conservation Union's list of the worst 100 invasive species and the rationale for their classification. Having a list of the prioritized species reveals a lot about the attitudes toward them. >> The Clean Boating Act has provisions for "Aquatic Nuisance Species" and preventing their spread. >> The fact that invasive species are being reported on by the DoD and were mentioned in the 2008 is a very good indicator of how serious of a threat they are considered to be.

 * This webpage is an annotated copy of the Lacey Act, one of the oldest American pieces of legislation that is applicable to invasive species. It predates the invention of the term "invasive species," but still prohibits the introduction of harmful plants and animals. This will be a starting point for characterizing the evolution of invasive species management policy.
