Welcome to the Coastal Invasive Species Committee

Coastal Invasive Species Committee (Coastal ISC) partners represent diverse stakeholders through Vancouver Island and surrounding coastal communities and British Columbia.

Our Mission:

The Coastal ISC takes a leadership role to reduce the negative impacts of invasive alien species by:

  • Outreach and education: Working with community members, local governments, First Nations, industry, land managers, and others to exchange information and raise awareness about the impacts from, and management of, invasive alien species.
  • Collaboration: Promoting efficient, cooperative management of invasive alien species. 
  • Advice: Providing advice and building capacity to manage invasive alien species.
  • Management: Providing services to manage invasive alien species.
  • Support: Seeking funding and other support to achieve the vision.

We are one of 17 Regional Weed Committees throughout the Province

Our Service Area encompasses:

  • 9 Regional Districts
  • 34 Municipalities
