Protect
Your Ports Against Invasive Species (Sep 1, 2009) /
Neighborhood Watch: U.S. Biosecurity comes into question
International Union
for Conservation of Nature.
A new report Neighborhood
Watch: Early Detection and Rapid Response to Biological Invasion Along
US Trade Pathways (2009; PDF | 9.4 MB) says accidental introductions
of pests and pathogens threaten economic, environmental and public health.
The report offers recommendations to improve biosecurity measures at
U.S. ports, as well as a possible
funding mechanism based upon the "polluter
pays" principle. Recommendations include improved coordination
between agencies and greater international cooperation. Neighborhood
Watch follows an earlier volume "Denying
Entry: Opportunities to Build Capacity to Prevent the Introduction of
Invasive Species and Improve Biosecurity at U.S. Ports" (2007; PDF |
4.6 MB) which addressed the challenges of "regulatory exclusion" of
potentially invasive species through trace pathways.
