Workshop: Invasive Species Management on Islands

This panel will discuss the challenge of addressing invasive species threats on islands and how strategies differ from continental approaches at the Hawaii workshop of the Western Governors’ Biosecurity and Invasive Species Initiative. Panelists: Suzanne Case – Chair, Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources; Patty Baiao – U.S. Program Manager, Island Conservation; Josh Fisher – Invasive Species Biologist, Fish & Wildlife Service; and Roland Quitugua – Biosecurity Specialist, University of Guam Cooperative Extension and Outreach. 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.
