Ep 30. Hawaii Invasive Species - Christy Martin from CGAPS
In this episode we speak with Christy Martin from the Hawaii Coordinating Group on Alien Pest Species (CGAPS) about the impact of invasive species in Hawaii. It is estimated that there are over 20,000 species that impact our ag producers!
The Coordinating Group on Alien Pest Species (CGAPS) is a voluntary partnership of federal and state agencies and non-governmental organizations whose goal is to protect Hawaii from invasive species that impact the economy, environment, agriculture, and public health. CGAPS works to close the gaps in Hawaii’s terrestrial and aquatic invasive species prevention and response systems through greater coordination, planning, and management. CGAPS is a project of the Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit of the University of Hawaiʻi. CGAPS staff also work with regional, national, and international partners on priority invasive species issues, including the synergistic effects of climate change and invasive species.
