Funding through the IASPP is available for projects that address the threat of aquatic invasive species, terrestrial invasive alien plants and plant pests, and invasive alien animals. Projects supported by the program will:
- reduce the introduction and spread of IAS and address their pathways of invasion through prevention, detection, and management (eradication, containment, and control) activities;
- enable Canadians to become actively involved in projects that address the threat of IAS; and
- improve Canadians' understanding and awareness of IAS and the individual actions and choices which contribute to their introduction and spread.
