The Aquatic Invasive Species Control and Prevention Act of 2026 is designed to strengthen the management and control of aquatic invasive species in U.S. waterways, addressing the urgent need to prevent, manage, and eradicate non-native species that threaten local ecosystems and economies. This legislation updates the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990, reflecting the increasing challenges posed by these harmful species.
