The National Invasive Species Act of 1996 charges the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force with implementing the Act by developing and executing a program that :
- prevents the introduction and dispersal of ANS;
- monitors, controls and studies such species;
- conducts research on methods to monitor, manage, control and eradicate such species;
- coordinates ANS programs and activities of ANS Task Force members and affected state agencies; and
- educates and informs the general public and program stakeholders about the prevention, management, and control of these species.
