G. Priorities for ActionThe purpose of the Arizona Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plan is to coordinate all AIS management actions currently within Arizona and to identify and provide funding for additional AIS management actions, especially those relating to priority AIS plants and animals. A major focus of this document is to develop and implement new programs designed to prevent or control the introduction and spread of AIS. Arizona is currently lacking projects or funding for preventing and controlling AIS. Priority Class 1 species are present and established in Arizona, have the potential to spread within or from the state, and management strategies for these species are unknown or limited. These species can be managed through actions that involve mitigation of impact, control of population size, and dispersal prevention. Priority Class 2 species are currently not present in Arizona, but have a high potential for invasion and there are limited or no known management strategies for these species. Appropriate management strategies for this class includes preventing introduction and/or eradication of insipient populations. Priority Class 3 species are not established in Arizona, but have a high potential for invasion, and reasonable management techniques are available. Appropriate management strategies for this class includes preventing introduction and/or eradication of pioneering populations. Priority Class 4 species are present and have the potential to spread further in Arizona but reasonable management strategies are available for these species. This class of species can be managed through actions that involve mitigating impact, controlling population size, and/or preventing dispersal. Priority SpeciesNon-indigenous species considered to be priority species and worthy of immediate or continued management action include: Priority 1:quagga, zebra, nz mud snail, rusty and redclaw crayfish, salvinia, didymo., asian carp, hydrilla, Priority 2: Eurasian watermilfoil, bullfrog, chytrid fungus, water hyacinth, northern snakehead, purple loostrife, whirling disease, golden algae, Priority class 3: golden apple snail, VHS, nutria, salt cedar, arundo et al., Asiatic clams, round goby,The management actions outlined herein focus on these priority species. By addressing the pathways of introduction for priority species, the introduction of other lower priority, or perhaps unidentified AIS, may also be prevented, since many share common pathways. Please categorize all potential aquatic invasive according to the class priorities borrowed from the Oklahoma State AIS Management plan (highlighted above). H.
