Hi,

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Panel of the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force
and Maryland Sea Grant invite your attendance at a one-day workshop:

Aquatic Invasive Species Vector Management: A Prevention Solution
Date: December 2, 2009
Location: Baltimore, Maryland

For registration and full details visit: 
http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/vectorworkshop/

This one-day event will bring regional attention to aquatic invasive
species introduction pathways.

The Mid-Atlantic region has an important and timely opportunity to move
beyond managing individual species and toward a more holistic approach –
managing the pathways or vectors for invasions. The workshop will focus on
preventing the introduction of non-native aquatic species through vector
management. The workshop outcome will provide recommendations on strategies
states, local governments, NGOs, legislatures, the Chesapeake Bay Program,
the Mid-Atlantic Panel, and other groups and individuals can pursue to
manage vectors and prevent unwanted introductions of non-native species.

Please come to this workshop ready to participate and contribute to
developing recommendations for advancing invasive species vector research
and management.

See you there!

Best Regards,
Fredrika Moser, Maryland Sea Grant

Workshop steering committee: Jonathan McKnight (MD DNR), Fredrika Moser
(MDSG), Lisa Moss (USFWS), Read Porter (ELI), Greg Ruiz (SERC) and Mario
Tamburri (UMCES, ACT).
