Prevention, of course, is the essential component of what everyone here wants to see in any freshwater marine environment and ecosystem, but it's the response that's there as well. As I highlighted previously on the green crab issue in Placentia Bay and St. George's Bay here in Newfoundland, it took over a year for DFO to put together anything to assess and evaluate what happened and then try to put a plan in place. Quite frankly, a year is an awfully long time to evaluate, assess and put anything in place.
Obviously, assessments and evaluations of coastal environments and ecosystems should be a priority everywhere across the country. When these invasive species are found, there needs to be a much more effective and efficient way to address them fast to ensure that, whatever ecosystems they are found in, they are not going to spread, and hopefully they will be eradicated before they cause serious and detrimental harm to all wildlife and the ecosystem.
