The Midwest Invasive Species Information Network (MISIN) is an extensive database that allows users to record invasive species sightings based on species and location. By recording invasive species sightings, users can contribute to invasive species management and mapping by using the reporting tool. The goal of MISIN is to "assist both experts and citizen scientists in the detection and identification of invasive species in support of successful management." The effort is led primarily by the Michigan State University Department of Entomology laboratory for Applied Spatial Ecology and Technical Services.
