An ever-growing number of aquatic species are being introduced, becoming established, and causing significant damage to receiving ecosystems, and resulting in economic penalties and threatening native biodiversity. An ever-growing number of aquatic invasive species are causing increasing damage to ecosystems and the economies that depend upon them. No ecosystem on the planet is impervious to the onslaught of aquatic invasive species. Florida’s Everglades National Park, a United Nations World Heritage Site, is one such ecosystem that struggles with large numbers of invaders that are changing the Park’s ecosystem and requiring on-going restoration efforts. In order to protect natural treasures like the Everglades, and other World Heritage Sites, it is essential to have an integrated and harmonized approach involving the full range of stakeholders from resource managers and academics to citizen activists and policy makers. Action must be taken at the local, regional, national and global levels if we are to stem the tide of aquatic invasive species that threaten the biological integrity of unique aquatic habitats. While several sessions are devoted specifically to the problems in southeast Florida and the Everglades, the 14th International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species is an opportunity to discuss and document the global impacts of aquatic invasive species. This international forum continues to raise awareness of the necessity for rigorous science in support of policy and decision-making that will lead to the development of effective legislation, with the goal of reducing the impacts of aquatic invasive species not only in Florida, but around the world.
