Project 435
Project 435 is an interactive tool that combines verified invasive species occurrence data from the USGS with up-to-date U.S. congressional district boundaries. Users can explore the map to identify where specific invasive species have been reported, see which districts are affected, and learn which members of Congress represent those areas. Automatically updated with the latest data, Project 435 supports public awareness, scientific research, and evidence-based policymaking.
