Zoe Nakata said: “We want to make sure that everything that we release can have the positive impact. And that's where those invasive species were really something that we needed to look at, and re-examine. Because every time you release an invasive species back to nature, you actually have the potential of causing harm to native songbirds, other native species, habitat encroachment, all of those things can happen,” External link

Zoe Nakata said: “We analyzed our success rate that was actually very small, only a 25 per cent success rate based on capacity…and really, the raccoons in this province are in a state of overpopulation. Their territories are expanding, they're very adaptable to urban and rural areas. So when you look at it from a conservation lens, it was determined that they don't necessarily need a whole lot of help from humans. And in fact, a lot of the cases that we saw were from human error,” External link

Zoe Nakata said: “The cost of treating these animals, invasive species, the raccoons and even the picking up of small animals, like bunnies and songbirds, the costs are quite substantial to the organization,” “So when we look at the amount of money that it takes for those three things, invasive species, picking up all species, and the raccoons, we're probably in the $100,000 area. So it's substantial part of our budget, and in a time where we're having, you know, a harder time raising money, getting the grants, based on the economic situation, we had to make a choice there” External link

Cole Burton said: “Animals are working hard to try and co-exist with people and so they're basically sharing this landscape with us and trying to minimize problems,” “The way they minimize encounters with people might be to just avoid people, to clear out of an area if people are using it more, or it might be that they stay hidden during the day and they just come out and forage and move around at night” External link

Van Hollen said: “Blue catfish pose a growing environmental and economic threat to our treasured Chesapeake Bay as they grow in number and prey on our iconic blue crabs and rockfish. Fortunately, blue catfish are also delicious, meaning this is a problem we can literally eat our way out of. In order to facilitate getting more blue catfish on the menu, Senator Cardin and Congressman Harris and I have secured resources to boost catfish processing and spur market demand, as we continue to explore additional ways to control their population growth,” External link

Ben Cardin said: “Blue catfish present a challenge for the Bay. Their rapid expansion and population growth is profoundly affecting the Bay’s ecosystem. The appropriations bill Congress just passed includes $3 million to help places like Tilghman Island Seafood support greater processing capacity of invasive wild-caught catfish. It also provides $500,000 to support research and population monitoring to fill critical gaps in our understanding of how blue catfish are impacting the Bay,” “Invasive species management is a complex problem that will require multifaceted solutions. This could only be done with government and private sector working together to figure out a way to manage the population” External link

Matt Palmer said: “If the conditions change, then you could suddenly lose them all,” “For example, if you’re a farmer that only grows one type of crop and a pathogen comes and wipes out your crop, you’re out of luck. But if you grow 10 crops and a pathogen wipes out one, you’ve got the other nine to buffer some of that risk” External link

Matt Palmer said: “Anytime the environment changes, living things respond,” “And when climate is changing rapidly, you end up with a mismatch between the environment the plants started in and the one they’re experiencing at the present. Plants that are poorly suited to the new environment begin to decline and that opens up an opportunity for new plants that are better adapted to the changed conditions” External link

Matt Palmer said: “Here in the forests of northeastern North America, many of the invasive shrubs leaf out earlier in the spring than the natives because they originated in a different climate where earlier leaf out is beneficial,” “They [have] an advantage because if spring arrives earlier, some of the native shrubs are still responding to the day length, which isn’t changing, as opposed to the temperature, which is. The earlier spring temperatures give the invasive plants a longer growing season so they can make more food over that year, grow faster, and ultimately start making more or earlier seeds” External link
