    Overall, I feel for the biological aspects of truly invasive species. It was quite upsetting to keep hearing Docter W/e, that if it has a small chance at being invasive, it should be banned, and NO ONE had a problem with a guilty until proven innocent besides the woman from the Virgin Islands.

    But it was made clear that it is too broad of a stroke, (like the fish guy was saying), even Am. Samoa was all saying that it isn't suited properly as written, and it can have a largly negative impact on economics.

    I think they will touch closely on state to state regulations. Like Samoa was saying, why have a permit in place on a Federal level for an animal that wont survive in Wisconsin, but IS a problem in Florida?

    Very well spoken by everyone.
