The Oahu Invasive Species Committee (OISC) surveys for and controls incipient invasive species on the island of Oahu. Although OISC is in the midst of controlling ecosystem altering species on our target list, such as miconia, we are also evaluating other invasive species threats to our island. OISC is currently evaluating 16 plants as potential target species. Using ArcGIS we automated tasks to assist in evaluating a species feasibility of eradication and to track survey progress.
