CMIST assessments provide information on the likelihood and impact of invasions of different species in different assessment areas with scores adjusted for assessor uncertainty. Together, these assessments act as a new resource of collated information on invasive species that can assist researchers and managers dealing with aquatic invasive species (AIS) and increase the efficiency of decision-making. The growing database of CMIST assessments is an important repository for information on invasive species for students, researchers, and citizens around the world.
