Rethinking Invasive Species Communication

This webinar, hosted by North American Invasive Species Management Association, will explore how the words we use to talk about invasive species can either support or undermine effective management. Drawing on insights from the Sea Grant-led Invasive Species Language Workshop hosted during National Invasive Species Awareness Week 2024, speakers will look at message framing, metaphors, and naming conventions that can unintentionally reinforce xenophobia or exclusion, as well as approaches that foster inclusion and collaboration instead. Presenters will also share early findings from a national survey on invasive species language and common names.
