Panelists will discuss how the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the States collaborate to prevent the spread of invasive species. Participants from Hawaii will highlight the role of state authority in regulating the movement of pests and plants and explore strategies to improve coordination between federal and state regulations. Panelists will also discuss regulations affecting the movement of forest pests in the West.
This is the third webinar in a series as part of the Western Governors’ Biosecurity and Invasive Species Initiative, the central policy initiative of WGA Chair Hawaii Gov. David Ige.
