About
Our work
The New Brunswick Invasive Species Council (NBISC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to collaborative efforts with NGOs, government, industry, and recreational stakeholders to address invasive species in New Brunswick.
Mission
Working to protect New Brunswick’s environmental, economic, and recreational interests from the threat of invasive species.
Goals
To build capacity for invasive species management activities in the province
To engage New Brunswickers in reducing the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species
We aim to do this by:
Enhancing collaboration and coordinating efforts across NB on invasive species related initiatives
Raising awareness about invasive species and their impact through social media and community engagements
Engaging with communities and target-audiences about the pathways that spread invasive species and reducing spread through behavioural change outreach programming
Developing the capacity of environmental non-profits, enhancing their skills, and improving access to information to better manage invasive species and roll out programs; and
Researching and investigating best options for mapping and response strategies to invasive species threats
NBISC is proud to be part of the Canadian Council on Invasive Species (CCIS), a national network of partners working collaboratively across jurisdictional boundaries to support actions and share information that can help reduce the threat and impacts of invasive species.
The CCIS is committed to developing national education and outreach strategies to help guide invasive species councils and organizations to motivate their audiences to change their behaviour and take action against invasive species.
