    <description><![CDATA[These are the 10 most recent Alerts provided by the USGS NAS. The US Geological Survey’s Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) Alert system is based on the NAS database (http://nas.er.usgs.gov), a database of locations of introduced aquatic species nationwide.  An alert is generated when a species is found in a new state, county, or drainage where it has not previously been recorded. Users can view an archive of past alerts, or register to receive alerts either by e-mail or RSS, at http://nas.er.usgs.gov/AlertSystem]]></description>
