Ikuma, Edmond K., Dean Sugano, and Jean Kadooka Mardfin. 2002. Filling the gaps in the fight against invasive species. Report No. 1, January 2002. Honolulu: Legislative Reference Bureau.
This study was prepared in response to Hawaii State Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 45, H.D. 1 (2001), which directed the Legislative Reference Bureau to conduct a study on policy recommendations and funding options for a comprehensive alien invasive species protection and control program for the State of Hawaii. The introduction to the report says, in part: "The Legislature recognized the environmental and economic threat posed by invasive species and was well aware of the efforts to address this problem by federal, state, county and concerned private organizations. The Legislature, however, was also aware of state invasive species programs that were 'piecemeal [and lacked] adequate rigor, comprehensiveness, and political will ....' To resolve this administrative problem, the Legislature adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 45 in an attempt to provide policy recommendations and funding options to develop a comprehensive invasive species protection and control program for the State of Hawaii.
