Workshop: Biosecurity – Pre-Border Detection and Prevention Strategies

Preventing invasive species from entering new areas is the most desirable and effective control strategy. Panelists will discuss how various policies can help communities reduce the risk of invasive species taking root in new environments at the Hawaii workshop of the Western Governors’ Biosecurity and Invasive Species Initiative. Panelists: Christy Martin – Program Manager & PIO, UH-PCSU Coordinating Group on Alien Pest Species; Vernon Harrington – State Plant Health Director, USDA APHIS; Jules Kuo – Ballast Water and Biofouling Coordinator, Hawaii DLNR, Division of Aquatic Resources; and Jonathan Ho – Plant Quarantine Branch Manager, Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture. The central policy initiative of Hawaii Governor David Ige’s term as Western Governors’ Association Chair is focused on the impacts that nuisance species, pests and pathogens have on ecosystems, forests, rangelands, watersheds, and infrastructure in the West. The workshop was held Dec. 10 in Hawaii.
