NY Invasive Species Prioritization Map Models
These models were created to highlight areas of the state that have high ecological significance, a high risk of spread of invasives into the area, and high value according to their protected status, using available spatial data sets that influence invasive species efforts. Please contact us at imapinvasives@dec.ny.gov if you have questions.

Using the spatial prioritization map models:
1. Navigate to the location of interest on the map.
2. Click on the double arrow in the top left corner to view the legend.
3. In the legend, toggle the switches to view different map layers including ecological significance, risk of spread, and protected areas.
4. The color ramp for each prioritization model layer indicates increasing importance as the color darkens. The comprehensive score is a combination of the ecological significance, protected or natural area, and risk of spread.
