Overview of NIS

What is HACCP

Value of HACCP

Some Facts About Invasive Species Cost an estimated $123 billion annually in economic loss. Impact nearly half of the species currently listed as

Threatened or Endangered under the U.S. Federal Endangered Species Act.

Impact the health of a wide variety of species (i.e., West Nile Virus, VHS, H1N1, rat lung worm).

4,600 acres of public lands in the West are lost to noxious

weeds each day.

$150 million/ year to protect and treat buildings and other wooden structures in the Hawaiian Islands (subterranean termite)

Unique life history characteristics for each species, whether plant, animal, or pathogen, provide unique control options/challenges. Our approach is efficient in that it addresses management actions for the pathway. Another component of HACCP is Integrated Pest Management approach to control measures.

PATHWAYS

What is HACCP Hazard Analysis and Critical Control

Point planning

HACCP= science-based planning document

Facilitated discussions identify prevention

methods and actions to control non-targets from the process

Conceptual risk assessment and risk

management to identify practical alternatives if needed

Provides a tool for meeting the needs

identified in E.O. 13112

Executive Order 13112 of February 3, 1999 -- Invasive Species

Presidential Documents Executive Order 13112 of February 3, 1999

Invasive Species By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of

the United States of America, including the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance

Prevention and Control Act of 1990, as amended (16 U.S.C. 4701 et seq.), Lacey Act, as amended (18 U.S.C. 42), Federal Plant Pest Act (7 U.S.C. 150aa

et seq.), Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974, as amended (7 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),

and other pertinent statutes, to prevent the introduction of invasive species and provide for their control and to minimize the economic,

ecological, and human health impacts that invasive species cause, it is ordered as follows:

HACCP History • 1970’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration for

the reduction of food crumbling and spoilage

• 1970’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration adopted HACCP

• 1990’s Codex Alimentarius, an agency of the United Nations adopted HACCP

• 1990’s World Trade Organization Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures and the Technical Barriers to Trade

• 1990’s European Union initiated the requirement for HACCP for the import and export of fish and fish products

• American Society for Testing and Materials (2008) examines feasibility of 5-Step HACCP as an industry standard

HACCP for NRM

•Sea Grant develops ANS-HACCP •Train NR Agencies and bait industry (e.g., wild bait fish) •USFWS modified HACCP

HACCP: form and function Standardized forms Identifies prevention measures and control

points Local experts and knowledge Peer reviewed Implement and revise

Systematic Steps in HACCP Planning (HACCP manual p. 3-1)

Step 1 - Activity Description (who, what, when)

Step 2 – Identify Potential Hazards (unintentional)

Step 3 - Flow Diagram Step 4 - Hazard Analysis Worksheet (prevention and control points and methods)

Step 5 - HACCP Plan Form

Key HACCP Terminology

Target - whatever is intentionally being moved from place to place

Non-target - any species that may be present in the action area, but is not the species for which an action was initiated; aka hazards

Key HACCP Terminology

Pathway - an activity or process through which a species is transferred to a new location where it could become invasive

Risk - an estimate of the likely occurrence of a hazard

www.fws.gov/.../slide0059.htm

Review of HACCP Terms

Bananas= target

Pathway= harvest, transport, and delivery of bananas

Poodles= non-target

www.fws.gov/.../slide0059.htm

People and equipment= target

Key HACCP Terminology

Control point - any step at which potential hazards can be controlled

Critical control point (CCP)

- the best point, step, or procedure at which significant hazards can be prevented or reduced to minimum risk

Control point ?

Critical control point ?

Prior to net being loaded onto shore in America and poodles being released

Collecting bananas, loading bananas into cargo net, arranging bananas on boat, putting bananas into cargo net, lowering cargo net onto shore in America, unloading cargo net in America

Value of HACCP HACCP is a tool that can help reduce

the risk of moving invasive species unintentionally

HACCP is pathway focus HACCP process can be useful for many

activities (e.g., field sampling, site visits, road and trail maintenance)

Future opportunities for implementing HACCP within Natural Resource Agency programs and demonstrate “do no

harm”
