The Mid-Atlantic Regional Panel on Aquatic Invasive Species (MAP) is
announcing its 2014 request for proposals. The mission of the MAP is
to assist state and federal agencies and other stakeholders in
developing and implementing strategic, coordinated, and action-oriented
approaches to preventing and controlling aquatic invasive species in the
mid-Atlantic region. The driving force behind MAPs mission is to
strengthen cooperation, coordination, and communication on AIS issues
within the region and beyond.
