Invasive species meeting in Waimanalo August 21, 2023

Windward Community Meeting on Invasive Species Prevention, Control, and Eradication Efforts for Little Fire Ant, Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle, and Coqui Frog Infestations August 21, 2023

Posted on August 10, 2023

It’s a mouthful of a title, but that’s what the Waimanalo Neighborhood Board and elected officials are calling this community meeting. Here is the flyer:

Windward Community Meeting on
Invasive Species Prevention, Control, and Eradication Efforts for
Little Fire Ant, Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle, and Coqui Frog Infestations

Concerns over these invasive species have reached an urgent state, with State Senator Jarrett Keohokalole citing “grave concerns” about fast-spreading pest infestations that are jeopardizing Hawaii’s environment and agricultural production. Keohokalole’s letter to Sharon Hurd, director of the state’s Agriculture Department, can be read on Civil Beat’s article, “Invasive Species Are Rampant On Oahu And Stakeholders Are Calling Out DOA.”

If you are interested in hearing what best practices are being implemented and what solutions remain to be explored regarding the little fire ant, coconut rhinoceros beetle and coqui frog, please join this forum on Monday, August 21, 2023.
