The problem with non-native invasive species…
Sam Hamilton Invasive Species are “probably the single
greatest threat in our country to our native wildlife”.
Worldwide Cost = $1.4 trillion U.S. = $138 billion

Impacts: Economic
Emerald Ash Borer



Killed millions of ash trees in 14 states and 1 Canadian Provence
Quarantines and fines to prevent potentially infested ash trees, logs or
hardwood firewood from moving out of areas where EAB occurs.
Cost municipalities, property owners, nursery operators and forest
products industries tens of millions of dollars.
Impacts: Economic
Quagga and Zebra Mussles

Clog water intakes and pipes

Damage pump

Decrease power production

Harm commercial fisheries

Damage boat engines

Increase watercraft maintenance
Impacts: Ecological
Kudzu

Crowds out native species

Found on over 7 million acres
Impacts: Ecological
Brown Tree Snake
Species Extinctions
Increased vulnerability of native vegetation
to insect pests due to the loss of avian and
reptilian insectivores

Pathways of Introduction
How do they get here:
Shipping
Captive and Cultured Organisms
Recreation
Intentional Stocking
 Recreational
 Environmental
 Food (seafood)
Pathways of Introduction/VECTORS

Preventing the Spread of Invasive Species

Control Act

Executive Order 13112
Executive Order 13112 of February 3, 1999 -- Invasive Species
a) Each Federal agency whose actions may affect the
status of invasive species shall, to the extent practicable
and permitted by law…
(3) not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it
believes are likely to cause or promote the
introduction or spread of invasive species in the
United States or elsewhere unless, pursuant to
guidelines that it has prescribed, the agency has
determined and made public its determination that the
benefits of such actions clearly outweigh the potential
harm caused by invasive species; and that all feasible
and prudent measures to minimize risk of harm will be
taken in conjunction with the actions.

Precautionary Principle
•
Risk Management vs. Risk Assessment
“But we already have basic
decontamination procedures…”
HACCP :

Identifies risk of spreading invasive species and
implements controls

Targets control measures for “best” opportunity

Ensures prevention is successful

Contingency plan if problem surfaces

Documentation process

Review Process
