Work targets many industries including plant nurseries, pet and aquatic vendors, hobbyist groups, internet retailers, live food markets, commercial fishing, bait dealers, the wholesale pet trade supply, and wholesale fish dealers. This program involves collaborations between invasive species professionals, law enforcement, partners, businesses, and citizens. Find out what we have been working on, and how you can help prevent invasive species introductions through this priority pathway.
