Below are links to lists of aquatic and wetland nuisance species for the NEANS region (New England and New York in the U.S.,
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec in Canada)*. They have been compiled and posted by various government and
non-governmental organizations at the local, state, and national level, and as a result are subject to different categorizations
(invasive, potentially invasive, etc.) and naming conventions (invasive, banned, noxious). The icons in the right-hand column
indicate which organism types can be found on each list.
If your organization has an invasive species list that is not included below, let us know at
info@northeastans.org.
