Battling Back the Asian Carp
Great Lakes United.
The invasive Asian Carp has been detected past
the electric barrier on the Chicago Ship and
Sanitary Canal, just 6 miles upstream of Lake
Michigan. This is nearly 20 miles closer than
previous tests had shown.

U.S. Senators Mark Udall, D-CO, and James Risch, R-ID have introduced bipartisan legislation to fight the bark beetle epidemic, which has killed millions of acres of trees across Colorado and the West. Senator Udall and Risch's National Forest Insect and Disease Emergency Act would provide additional tools and resources to help the U.S. Forest Service slow the spread of the beetle and address the safety threats posed by dead trees. The bill does not call for additional spending, rather it would re-prioritize resources within the Forest Service to help deal with bark beetle damage.
S.2798 -
National Forest Insect and Disease Emergency Act
of 2009
Introduced: Nov 18, 2009
Sponsor: Sen Udall, Mark [CO]
Summary: A bill to reduce the risk of catastrophic
wildfire through the facilitation of insect and disease infestation
treatment of National Forest System and adjacent land, and for other
purposes.

Global
Tree Death Patterns Reveal Emerging Climate Change Risks for Forests (Oct
26, 2009)
U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS-led review suggests that many of the world's forests are sensitive
to climate-related drought and heat stress, raising the concern that
forests may become increasingly vulnerable to future mortality, even
in environments that are not normally considered water-limited. The results
suggest risks to ecosystem services that are valuable to forests and
societies around the world. Warming temperatures also have direct effects on insect population dynamics; outbreaks of some aggressive bark beetle species are closely tied to temperature.

Kudzu-eating
Pest Found in Northeast Georgia (Nov
5, 2009)
University of Georgia College
of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences.
Researchers
from the University of Georgia and Dow
AgroSciences have identified a kudzu-eating
pest in northeast Georgia that has never
been found in the Western Hemisphere. The
bug tentatively identified as the bean plataspid
(Megacopta cribraria), a native
to India and China, also eats legume crops,
especially soybeans. The Georgia Department
of Agriculture will be working with the University
of Georgia and the USDA to determine the
best way to handle the insect. A Statewide
Emergency Pest Alert (PDF | 63 KB) has
been issued with information for Georgia
county agents.

Courting
Controversy with a New View on Exotic Species (Nov 19, 2009)
Yale University. Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. Yale
Environment 360.
A group of biologists are challenging the long-held
orthodoxy that invasive species are inherently bad for ecosystems. In
their view, many introduced species have proven valuable and useful and
have increased the diversity and resiliency of indigenous environments.
A main proponent, Mark A. Davis, chairman of the biology department at
Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and author of Invasion
Biology, does express support for control
programs where damage is great, for example, the emerald
ash borer, and controls stand a chance of success.

Waterway
Closure Notice: Chicago Sanitary and Ship
Canal Scheduled to Close to Allow the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to Conduct Electric
Fish Barrier Maintenance (Nov 17,
2009)
United States Coast Guard. Ninth Coast Guard
District.
In early Dec 2009, the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers will perform scheduled maintenance
of the ANS Dispersal Barrier, also known
as the electronic fish barrier (Barrier IIA),
in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC).
The combination of barriers I and IIA are
currently the only deterrent preventing the
Asian
carp from continuing their destructive
advance up the waters of the CSSC into Lake
Michigan and periodic maintenance is necessary
to maintain reliable operations and to avoid
a catastrophic failure.

State Environmental Officials Urge Consumers to Avoid Invasive Plants in Holiday Decorating (Nov 19, 2009)
Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
State officials are urging homeowners and holiday decorators to beware of invasive plants that may be used in holiday wreaths and garland. The two most common invasive plants are Oriental Bittersweet and Multiflora Rose, which are on the Massachusetts Prohibited Plant List. Under Massachusetts law, it is illegal to import or sell Oriental Bittersweet or Multiflora Rose in any form (plants or cuttings) in the state.

Ballast Water Discharge General Permit
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Effective Feb 1, 2010, the DNR starts regulating large oceangoing ships to prevent them from accidentally introducing harmful new invasive species to Wisconsin's Great Lakes waters, and in turn, our inland lakes and rivers. The DNR permit supplements the current federal general permit that scientists have concluded does not provide significant protection to the Great Lakes. It requires oceangoing ships to meet numerical standards for live organisms left in ballast water after it's been treated.
