The Department of Agriculture spent 89 percent of this money. Activities to prevent the introduction of invasive species received the largest percentage of funding--about 51 percent and 49 percent in fiscal years 1999 and 2000, respectively. Of the seven states surveyed--California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, and New York--Florida spent $94.5 million and $127.6 million in 1999 and 2000 and California spent $82.6 million and $87.2 million in 1999 and 2000. For both years, most funding went toward control of invasive species. The Invasive Species Council is in the final stages of staffing the organizational infrastructure, has drafted and is receiving comments on its management plan, has established an advisory committee and six working groups, and is in the process of developing a Web site. This report includes appendixes on GAO survey responses of 10 federal departments and seven states, including expenditures for invasive species activities. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-00-219/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-00-219.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-00-219/pdf/GAOREPORTS-RCED-00-219.pdf GAO/RCED-00-219 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-00-219 Letter Report GAO/RCED-00-219; Invasive Species: Federal and Selected State Funding to; Executive orders Pest control Agricultural pests Plants (organisms) Federal/state relations Federal funds State programs California Florida Hawaii Idaho Maryland Michigan New York
