<DIV>Hello, forest pest mavens!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My colleague Peter Jenkins has posted a blog describing my organization's
(Center for Invasive Species Prevention) petition urging the U.S.
Government/Fish and Wildlife Service to act to prevent introduction and spread
of 43 aquatic species that would probably be invasive in the U.S.</DIV>
<DIV>Read it at <A href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(I apologize for the fact that 2 version of the blog are posted - the
latter is revised slightly. My lack of computer skills means I have not
figured out how to get rid of the earlier one!)</DIV>
