We convened a stakeholder meeting for practitioners to share their experiences with one another; to learn what management goals they have and how are they monitoring progress towards them; how they are prioritizing and sustaining invasive Phragmites management; what control methods they are using and the difficulties and/or successes they are having with them; what information gaps exist; and if they have novel approaches that aren’t widely known or used. Discussions were focused on four key topic areas to help answer these questions: 1) measures of success and monitoring; 2) prioritizing management action and sustaining management over time; 3) control methods and unintended impacts; and 4) Pathways, re-invasion, secondary invasions and decontamination.
