[B]KHS progress reports out today[/B]
In preparation for the military buildup on Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, the Department of Defense has taken an unprecedented step of funding a proactive effort to evaluate the risks to Micronesia that are associated with the introduction and/or spread of potentially invasive species and to make recommendations as to how these risks can best be eliminated or minimized through the creation of a Micronesia Biosecurity Plan.
As part of a cooperative agreement with the Department of the Navy, the University of Guam is taking the lead in organizing a team of scientists and managers specializing in biosecurity and/or natural resource management in the pacific region to contribute to a peer review of the draft MBP sections and develop a Strategic Implementation Plan to support the MBP. This inaugural meeting will be held at the Governor of Guam’s upper conference room at the Ricardo J. Bordallo Governor’s Complex, Hagåtña Guam, on March 12, 2012, starting at 10:30am. (PR)
