[MAIPC] Faith posts 2 new blogs

[Phytodoer at aol.com]

It has been a busy time for invasive species issues.  
Now posted at _www.cisp.us_ (http://www.cisp.us)  or _www.nivemnic.us_ 
(http://www.nivemnic.us)  are 2 (!) new blogs:
* one summarizes the impacts of last week's court decision on the Lacey Act 
 - the principal law that has been used to regulate movement of invasive  
vertebrates. The court ruled that the law's language cannot support an  
interpretation that regulates movement of most listed species between the 49  
continental states.
 
* the second blog reflects on an article published by National Wildlife  
Federation on imported plants as both potentially invasive themselves and as  
vectors for moving insects, pathogens, and other plant pests.
 
Please share with your contacts.
 
Next week I will blog about adoption by a Senate committee of a bill  
intended to activate invasive species control efforts by federal agencies that  
manage public lands and waters.
