IPANE's mission is to create a comprehensive web-accessible database of invasive and potentially invasive plants in New England that will be continually updated by a network of professionals and trained volunteers. The database will facilitate education and research that will lead to a greater understanding of invasive plant ecology and support informed conservation management. An important focus of the project is the early detection of, and rapid response to, new invasions.

In the fall of 2002, Tufts Center for Conservation Medicine (Tufts CCM) / Wildlife Clinic established SEANET. A network of over 60 seabird and ecological health organizations from Canada to New Jersey has been established. 'Citizen-scientist' beached bird surveys are ongoing, with over 300 volunteers collecting data on seabird mortality during monthly or more frequent beach walks. In partnership with Wildlife Trust, the NBII Wildlife Disease Node and the NBII Northeast Information Node, data on marine and coastal bird population distribution ocean conditions, algal blooms, water quality, human population densities, marine bird nesting populations, fish catches and coastal land use are being collected in a GIS-based repository for analysis and dissemination.

NYBD is an online database of information on conservation and biodiversity research projects in the New York metropolitan area, which includes parts of New York State, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Every day hundreds of government units, private interests, and public entities take actions that affect the ecosystems of this region; in order to understand these impacts, numerous non-profit, educational, and other organizations conduct research on a regular basis. NYBD was created to facilitate the sharing of this conservation information.

The Vermont Monitoring Cooperative (VMC) serves Vermont by developing an improved understanding of long-term trends, annual conditions, and interdisciplinary relationships between the physical, chemical, and biological components of Vermont's forests. The VMC promotes coordination of multi-disciplinary environmental monitoring and research activities among federal, state, university, and private-sector agencies that have common interests in the long-term health, management, and protection of our forests.

Jamaica Bay is a 25,000 acre nutrient-rich estuary, connected to Lower New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean via the Rockaway Inlet. The majority of the area is publicly owned by the federal government and city of New York. The area is a regionally significant resource for fish and wildlife, and its waters, uplands, and barrier beaches also provide invaluable respite and recreational opportunities for the New York City metropolitan community. The bay is the frequent subject of research and management of its wildlife, fisheries, waters, and marshes. The JBRMIN site seeks to capture the myriad of management and research activities occurring in the Bay, including the latest research, descriptive information on the many Bay stakeholders, highlights on future activities, and links to other related sites.

Originally constructed to serve the Fisheries and Aquatic Resource community within the Hudson River watershed, this expanded tool delivers online geospatial data, information, and links to important biological resources and research within one of the defining features of the Northeast, the Hudson. With the Hudson River Watershed Mapper, baseline geospatial data layers and sample imagery allow users to explore, query, and construct and print maps for areas of interest within the region.
