摘要

The introduction of harmful, non-native, invasive species-terrestrial and aquatic-has received heightened recognition because of the threats this form of "biological pollution" poses to ecosystem health, endangered species, economic interests, and even public health. Much of the incalculably valuable native biological diversity of North America eventually could be virtu-ally replaced by aggressive invaders, as already has occurred across large areas of Hawaii and other vulnerable islands. Nevertheless, government funding for responding to this threat remains woefully inadequate. And despite the widespread and massive effects of invasive species, the industries that cause the majority of the problems have resisted tougher policies. Confronted with the need to have funds available in the event of an oil spill, the government decided to levy a fee on all oil shipments to raise revenue for an emergency fund. A similar approach could work to create a fund to pay for rapid response to biological pollution problems, or better yet to prevent them in the first place. Concerted action by the National Invasive Species Council (NISC), the administration, and Congress can make dramatic policy improvements, just as dramatic improvements were made in the nation's oil spill response capabilities.
