Ivy Gourd; Availability of an Environmental Assessment
We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has prepared an environmental assessment relative to a proposed field release of a nonindigenous leaf-mining weevil, Acythopeus cocciniae, into Guam and Saipan for the biological control of ivy gourd (Coccinia grandis). The environmental assessment documents our review and analysis of environmental impacts associated with widespread release of this agent. We are making the environmental assessment available to the public for review and comment.
