Alien invaders in Canada's waters, wetlands, and forests / edited by Renata Claudi, Patrick Nantel, and Elizabeth Muckle-Jeffs. : Fo42-329/2002E-PDF
"Alien Invaders in Canada's Waters, Wetlands, and Forests documents the status of invasive alien species in Canada; their known impacts on the biodiversity of various types of ecosystems; conduits for new introductions; secondary distribution mechanisms; containment, eradication, and control methods; policy and legislation; national and international collaborative efforts; and public education and outreach programs to reduce the risk of unintentional introductions or spread. However, the publication is as much about what we do not know and should do, as about what we know and have done"--Preface, page 9.
