Report by Peter M. Rice, University of Montana
Decisions on designating species for a state or provincial weed list can have
far-reaching implications for effective and efficient noxious weed management.
Some states already have or are moving toward "tiered" lists that group
weed species according to management priority, infestation range, or other parameters.
However, according to the North American Weed Management Association, most state
and provincial weed laws address weeds only after they become well established.
Updating noxious weed laws by developing weed lists tiered to the plant population
invasion stage can guide allocation of scarce public resources to the management
of prioritized noxious weeds, including those species that require a rapid response.
Incorporating additional provisions into state weeds laws can strengthen efforts
in managing new invaders.

Since 2009 there has been an increasing
move toward restricting the use of felt soled waders
and wading boots. See The

look at the science driving the move to eliminate
the use of felt soled waders.

The Alaska Board of Fisheries has adopted a statewide phase out of felt sole
wading products, effective Jan 1, 2012, to guard against the spread of aquatic
invasive species. Alaska is the first state in the nation to ban the use of felt
sole wading products.
