		The United States has a long-standing policy opposing the hunting of seals and other marine mammals absent sufficient safeguards and information to ensure that the hunting will not adversely impact the affected marine mammal population or the ecosystem of which it is a part.
		The United States policy is articulated in the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA), which generally prohibits, with narrow and specific exceptions, the taking of marine mammals in waters or lands subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and the importation of marine mammals and marine mammal products into the United States.

	Regulations Pertaining to Non-native Fish in Florida Aquaculture
		Although non-native aquatic organisms are important to Florida aquaculture and the economy of the state, the culture of non-native fish presents challenges to the industry and to natural resource authorities in Florida.
		It is the landowner's responsibility to prevent the establishment of populations of non-native fish (FAC 2003); however, by policy, landowners are not held responsible for intrusions onto their property or aquaculture facility by species that are established in open waters of the state and are widespread (e.g., walking catfish; Box 1).
		Fish may be listed as "injurious wildlife" and thereby placed under the Lacey Act, which prohibits their importation and interstate transfer.

	AWI Comments on ESA Changes - October 17, 2003
		Once the message goes out that the United States is a new, accessible market for these animals, a price will be placed on each and every one of their heads and poachers will set out to profit by commerce in these species.
		This proposed policy by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is unenforceable.

		The Satus Wildlife Area, a 3,500-acre Tribal restoration property, is composed of large oxbow slough habitats that became choked with exotic water lilies due to levee development.
		The need to house and service a sprawling human population has meant that surrounding natural areas, particularly wetland ecosystems, are being steadily encroached upon.
		The disappearance of wetlands from the landscape causes wetland-dependent wildlife to crowd into progressively smaller areas, and the loss of wetland functions adds to the degradation of water quality in the lake and it's watersheds.
