Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Hawaiʻi-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)

This grant funds a project that will analyze invasion records and ornamental trade data for about 19,000 plant taxa to identify horticultural species likely to establish in Hawaiʻi, map high-risk areas, and highlight species of concern. The work will support risk-based screening, early detection, and management planning for federal and state partners.
