Expand, update, and enhance efforts to limit the impact of invasive species on traditional food resources and ecosystems. Relevant to fish and shellfish species and near shore habitat as well as forest ecosystems, limiting competition by removing invasive species and reducing barriers for the growth and spread of native species can help those species better withstand extreme weather and changing climate conditions. Careful selection of actions to eradicate or limit invasive species can also ensure health of the ecosystems and health and wellness of tribal members who utilize species in those ecosystems. Removing invasive species can encourage traditional native plant growth in areas and provide opportunities for intergenerational knowledge exchange.
