I copied this straight fro the USGS site:



"The USGS Invasive Species Program provides methodologies and information to address threats to ecological systems and native species due to the introduction and spread of invasive species. The program's Five-Year Strategic Plan outlines goals, strategies, and requirements for significantly increasing efforts on the part of USGS during fiscal years 2005 - 2009, helping the Department of the Interior managers and the Nation respond more rapidly and effectively to the growing threat of invasive species in U.S. ecosystems."





Note the use of term "fiscal years" and that 2009 is the last year of this five year plan. One could argue that they are pushing so hard so that they can show some kind of result to receive funding for the next five years.
