Invasive Species in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: A Workshop to Develop Regional Invasive Species Management Strategies. Held in Baltimore, Maryland on May 7-8, 2002.

摘要

The workshop explored what constitutes effective regional, state and local management plans for controlling invasive species, taking into consideration economic and legislative drivers within the Bay community, the value of the native Bay ecosystem, and the complexity of bio-invasions and invasive control strategies. Management strategies could include components such as research, monitoring, legislation, control and eradication. The workshop goal was to develop consensus frameworks for advancing and implementing regional management plans for the Chesapeake Bay Program's six priority species. Breakout sessions on each of the six species of concern provided participants with the opportunity to identify key issues and potential solutions to help the Chesapeake Bay Program and individual jurisdictions structure and implement management strategies for these six species in the Bay watershed.
