This chapter focuses on approaches for efficient monitoring and management of established invasive species. Essential variables for monitoring and reporting and the requirements for practical monitoring strategies are discussed. Based on information from monitoring, experts estimate the impact of invasive species using different metrics, and the invasion debt for established species that are continuously progressing along the introduction–naturalization–invasion continuum. Bioeconomic models are used to devise optimal management strategies and address questions to ascertain different types of intervention. Commonly formulated as a mathematical model for optimal control, dynamic programming, and spatial optimization, bioeconomic models rely on the elucidation of the dynamics of impact, economic cost or valuation of control, and the effect of control on impact. When there are multiple management targets or options, or when conflicts of interest exist, prioritization protocols need to be formulated to identify highly sensitive sites, species, and pathways for optimal monitoring and management.Less
