Indeed they do.

But having admitted that, the fact remains that MAN is the primary vector for the spread of invasives. A "hot" spot analysis of new outbreaks coincides with the areas that are popular fishing spots. That is not too surprising. It takes a jet propelled "bird" to get from New Zealand to North America.

Lets get real and tell folks the truth. Invasives will ultimately do what invasives do - SPREAD. All we are doing is SLOWING the spread.

We can't even get fisher's to stop throwing garbage along the rivers, and we are going to get ALL of them to decontaminate their gear?
