species. This order maintains the National Invasive Species Council
(Council) and the Invasive Species Advisory Committee; expands the
membership of the Council; clarifies the operations of the Council;
incorporates considerations of human and environmental health, climate

efforts to address invasive species; and strengthens coordinated,
cost-efficient Federal action.
