OISC Strategic Plan

Strategies

Prevention:

OISC works to identify high-risk pathways and conducts early detection surveys of these sites to ensure we find and eradicate high-threat, invasive target species while they are still in the initial stages of invasion. This approach reduces the amount of resources used by preventing the need for long-term management.

Control:

Some OISC targets, like fountain grass, are established in certain parts of the island and controlled in order to prevent further spread to more sensitive areas.

Eradication:

Small naturalized populations of alien pests may be eradicated. Eradication is the ultimate goal for the majority of OISC targets.

 

Using the spotting scope to scan the steep Ko’olau summits for miconia.
Early Detection surveys for Naio Thrips, currently only found on Big Island. These tiny sucking insects are only found in a limited area on Big Island and pose a threat to our native Naio Trees ( Myoporum sandwicense).
OISC partners with Hawai’i Department of Agriculture in conducting regular little fire ant surveys of garden stores and nurseries on O’ahu.
