RFP - Preventing Biological Pollution |
The team will build on its efforts of Phase I work to identify options to eliminate the introduction of non-indigenous species into the Great Lakes using a classic Academies approach. In addition to committee members from Phase I, the team will include new members with expertise in decision analysis, political science, international trade and economic development as well as members from the Royal Society of Canada. The committee and additional experts (identified throughout the process) will form an 'innovation cell' that will develop options to (1) promote international commerce and (2) eliminate the introduction of invasive species. They will identify topics (selected by committee and reviewed by stakeholders) for eight commissioned papers. Upon presentation of the commissioned papers and comment by stakeholders at a two day symposium, the committee will develop ranked options in the form of a final report. Ultimately, the committee will brief federal officials and other interested parties on the final report's findings.
The team has begun to recruit new members.
