Oahu Invasive Species Committee
About OISC
The Oahu Invasive Species Committee (OISC) is a voluntary partnership of private, governmental, and non-profit organizations united to prevent new invasive species infestations on the island of Oahu, to eradicate incipient invasive species, and to stop established invasive species from spreading.
OISC field crews survey the backcountry and residential areas for miconia, fountain grass, blackberry, and a host of other weeds. In partnership with the Oahu Coqui Frog Working Group, OISC responds to coqui frog reports and has conducted systematic treatment for coqui frogs at Oahu's only naturalized population. In partnership with the Bishop Museum, OISC is cataloging new plant introductions to Hawaii and assessing their weediness using the Hawaii Weed Risk Assessment. This way, OISC can control invasive species before they "jump the fenceline" and become too costly to control. You are invited to join the Oahu Early Detection (OED) Project to help locate incipient weeds on Oahu.
