Dear Wetlanders:

The Association of State Wetland Managers (ASWM) invites you to join us for
our mini webinar series focused on best management practices for invasive
species in coastal wetlands. Our next webinar is on the topic of *"Invasive
Species Databases:* *An In-depth Look at EDDMapS, the USGS Non-Indigenous
Aquatic Species Database, and NEMESIS"*. We will hear about how these
critical national databases can help your program develop successful early
detection and rapid response networks. This webinar will be held on
Wednesday, March 21st at *3:00 p.m. eastern, 2:00 p.m. central, 1:00 p.m.
mountain, 12:00 p.m. pacific, 11:00 a.m. Alaska, and 9:00 a.m. Hawaii time*.

*Chuck Bargeron*

Mr. Bargeron has been with the University of Georgia for 19 years where his
work focuses on invasive species and information technology. He has a B.S.
and M.S in Computer Science. Websites that he designed have been featured
twice in Science Magazine and have received over 1.7 billion hits since
2002. Chuck developed the infrastructure behind Bugwood Images which runs
the ForestryImages.org and Invasive.org websites. Recently, Chuck has
focused on mapping invasive species and tools for Early Detection and Rapid
Response using EDDMapS and smartphone applications. He has led development
of 26 smartphone applications including the first apps for the U.S. Forest
Service and National Park Service. He was appointed to the National
Invasive Species Advisory Council in 2013 and elected as Chair in 2018.
Chuck has been an invited speaker at over 80 regional and national
conferences and co-authored over 20 journal articles and outreach
publications.

*Pam Fuller*

Ms. Fuller is the program leader for the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species
Program which maintains a nationwide database and a web site of aquatic
invaders. She started with the program in its infancy and has developed it
to its current state over the past 26 years. Fuller has authored many
scientific publications on the topic of aquatic invasive species. She has
been involved in numerous national and international invasive species
research activities and work groups, particularly in the field of invasive
species information management. Ms. Fuller enjoys the work she does because
it is so multifaceted. Her work requires knowledge of zoogeography,
taxonomy, ecology, databases and web design.

*Dr. Gregory Ruiz*

Mr. Ruiz is a marine ecologist with active research interests in invasion
biology, biogeography, and ecology in coastal marine ecosystems. He heads a
research group of ~ 40 full-time biologists, based at the Smithsonian
Environmental Research Center (SERC) laboratories, located on Chesapeake
Bay and San Francisco Bay. Most of his research explores the patterns,
mechanisms, and consequences of marine invasions at a multiple spatial and
temporal scales. He conducts extensive comparative measurements and
experiments among estuaries along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts for North
America. A Senior Scientist at SERC for over 25 years, Greg also is a
Research Professor and founding co-director of the Aquatic BioInvasion
Research and Policy Institute at Portland State University. Greg has
published over 140 scientific articles as author or coauthor, focusing
primarily on marine invasion ecology and management. He began his career in
California and has broad interests in marine biology and dynamics of
coastal ecosystems. Greg holds a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of
California, Berkeley and a B.A. in aquatic biology from the University of
California, Santa Barbara.
