have been invited to contribute to these
works.
GISP future plans
In addition to these developments, there will
soon be chat rooms incorporated into the
GISP Web site and an online management
course is being created in cooperation with
the ISSG. The course will be modular and
adaptable to different regions of the world.
The GISP is also producing a series of best
practices manuals focusing on different
aspects of IAS management, prevention,
control, island issues, and marine species,
to be made widely available in different
languages. GISP is constantly expanding
partnerships through its facilitation working
group that functions on national and
regional levels to promote forums
supporting the invasive species issue.
And finally, the May 2004 GISP newsletter
will highlight the GISIN workshop, its
accomplishments, and future plans in
invasive species information management.
GISP looks forward to working with the
GISIN to facilitate broader access to IAS
information around the world.
