V. Objectives, Strategies, and Actions
The 2005 Adirondack Park Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan (the Plan) was
developed with close attention to the New York State Aquatic Nuisance Species Management
Plan and the Lake Champlain Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan. The Plan
incorporates many of the same concepts to ensure coordination, continuity, and consensus-based
activities. The following Objectives (modeled largely after key themes in the Final Report of
the New York State Invasive Species Task Force) provide a framework for the Strategies and
Actions to accomplish the Plan Goals: to prevent new ANS introductions, to limit the spread of
established ANS populations, and to abate impacts of ANS, as identified under Section II:
A. Coordination
B. Enforcement and Legislation
C. Education and Outreach
D. Early Detection and Monitoring
E. Management
F. Restoration
G. Research
Although these Objectives are not listed in order of priority, it is generally accepted that the first
line of defense for minimizing impacts of ANS is to prevent future introductions and further
spread of ANS. Each objective is inextricably linked to spread prevention. In addition, central
to all of the Actions of this Plan are the ANS Coordinator (see Action A1a) and the ANS
Advisory Committee (see Action A1c) whose roles will be to coordinate implementation of the
Actions and to coordinate development of future iterations of this management plan. The Plan
Objectives, Strategies, and Actions are as follows:
Objective A. Coordination
Strategy A1. Strengthen Coordination of Plan Implementation and other ANS
Efforts at the Park-wide, State, and Regional Levels
Issue Statement: Effective implementation of the Adirondack Park ANS Management Plan
requires Park-wide coordination and oversight to:
1. ensure that all Plan objectives and obligations are met;
2. ensure information is expeditiously and accurately shared among all individuals and
organizations involved in the implementation; and
3. minimize redundancy of activities.
Coordination with state, regional, and national ANS management efforts will also ensure
that efforts within the Park are informed by and shared among managers throughout the
Northeast and the U.S. Coordinating implementation of the Plan is essential for the
fulfillment of all three Plan Goals.
