National Ocean Policy Draft Implementation Plan (Jan 12, 2012)
As part of President Obama's National Policy for the Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes, the National Ocean Council has released a draft National Ocean Policy Implementation Plan to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes. The draft Implementation Plan describes more than 50 actions the Federal Government will take to improve the health of the ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes. Our oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes are subject to substantial pressures and face significant environmental challenges, including those resulting from invasive species. Public comment period is open until Feb 27, 2012.

Cost
of Invasive Non-native Species - Early Eradication
Lessens Impact (Dec 15, 2010)
Scottish Goverment.
The financial cost of non-native species has been published in a new report. "The
Economic Cost of Invasive Non-Native Species to the British Economy" suggests
that invasive species cost 1.7 billion pounds every year. The research was conducted
by the international scientific organization CABI for
the Scottish Government, Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government and breaks down
the effect on each country. It indicates that the economic cost of INNS can be
wide ranging and can result in the loss of crops, ecosystems and livelihoods.
The cost to the agriculture and horticulture sector alone is estimated to be
1 billion pounds across Britain. See Great
Britain Non-native Species Secretariat - Reports for the full report and
supporting document.

Biosurveillance:
Efforts to Develop a National Biosurveillance Capability Need a
National Strategy and a Designated Leader (Jun 30, 2010)
U.S. Government Accountability
Office. GAO-10-645.
The U.S. government
has a history of employing health surveillance to help
limit malady, loss of life, and economic impact of diseases.
Recent legislation and presidential directives have called for a
robust and integrated biosurveillance capability -- the ability to
provide early detection and situational awareness of potentially
catastrophic biological events. GAO reviewed federal biosurveillance
programs, plans, and strategies and interviewed agency officials
from components of 12 federal departments with biosurveillance responsibilities.

Climate
Change Indicators in the United States (Apr 2010)
Environmental Protection Agency.
The report indicates the timing of natural
events, such as flower blooms and animal migration, is
influenced by changes in climate. Scientists
have very high confidence that recent warming trends
in global climate are linked to an earlier arrival of
spring events. An earlier spring might lead to longer
growing seasons more abundant invasive species and pests
and earlier and longer allergy seasons.

Asia-Pacific Forest Invasive Species Network.
See resources from the Asia-Pacific Forest Invasive Species Network. APFISN has been established as a response to the immense costs and dangers posed by invasive species to the sustainable management of forests in the Asia-Pacific region. APFISN is a cooperative alliance of the 33 member countries in the Asia- Pacific Forestry Commission - a statutory body of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The network focuses on inter-country cooperation that helps to detect, prevent, monitor, eradicate and/or control forest invasive species in the Asia-Pacific region.
