They can be detected by trained dogs like the one in this picture (left), customs officials, researchers, wildlife managers, gardeners, pet enthusiasts, fisherpeople and hunters, wildlife watchers, boyscouts, children, and many other types of citizen scientists.

If you want to get involved in doing more than just reporting invasive species sightings, visit our Outreach page where we list groups and activities related to invasive species.
