Paper on the effectiveness of the Lacey Act on Invasive Species

I am a boring person...lol. I thought with all this discussion about the Lacey Act and the "Big 9" I figured this was a good place to post this link from the Ecological Society of America.

I hope you enjoy!

I actually love reading this stuff! Was only able to skim it but I'm going to try and print out a copy at work. For me personally I like using articles and such to back myself up when I'm explaining to family and friends about the difficulty of dealing with misinformation and how it affects the hobby as far as laws go.

I agree. And from the perspective of a Biologist that is the only way to do it. The general public are not educated when it comes to many things and wont just believe anyone telling them something so having actual scientific articles to use as evidence always helps. Thats why these papers have such long Reference sections. lol Plus educating yourself is always good too.
