Description

As the agency reported it.

Purpose
The purpose of this agreement is to conduct the cooperative agricultural pest survey (CAPS) program in florida. The primary objective of the national CAPS program is to safeguard our nation's agriculture and natural resources from exotic pests through risk-based targeted surveys. CAPS personnel survey for pests not known to be present in florida in an effort to provide for early detection. Early detection enhances potential eradication efforts; increasing our ability to prevent further spread within and out of the state. The CAPS program also conducts outreach to growers and other stakeholders, increasing awareness of exotic pests and the importance of state and federal survey efforts. 2.
Activities
For fiscal year 2023, florida caps will be conducting an exotic woodboring/bark beetle survey, a corn commodity survey, a cotton commodity survey and a nursery survey; that includes a total of 28 distinct target exotic pests and pathogens of concern to florida's agricultural industry and natural resources, and the nation as a whole. These surveys are designed to provide for the early detection or presence of these pests, allowing for the opportunity to eradicate them before they have a chance to cause severe damage. Most of the annual data collected by the program is negative, or shows that a particular pest is not present, and this greatly enhances the facilitation of trade of florida's agricultural goods nationally and globally. The caps team will also organize outreach events and provide presentations to relevant groups to communicate the risks from exotic pests and the activities of the USDA and the state to protect our domestic agriculture and natural resources. 3. Deliverables and expected outcomes: due to florida's climate, diverse agricultural industry and natural resources, the close proximity to the caribbean basin and the huge volume of agricultural commodities imported into the state, IT is extremely vulnerable to the invasion of an exotic pest or pathogen. The survey for and potential detection of these pests would provide the following expected outcomes: potential eradication or containment of pest populations, prevention of the spread of these pests outside of florida, increased awareness of exotic pests for the agricultural labor force and the general public, and protection of the vast agricultural and forestry resources of the state and the nation. In addition, these surveys have the potential to identify many new pest species at the host, county, state and national levels.4. Intended beneficiary(IES): while the surveys target specific sectors within florida's agricultural industry, many of the pests being surveyed for have broad host ranges that can negatively impact much of the other crops grown in the state, so the industry as a whole will benefit. Also, many of the pests can be a serious threat to florida's natural resources and could permanently damage and change the state's environment. That would have a serious negative impact on the citizens of florida and the millions of travelers that arrive each year to enjoy the diverse environment that the state possesses. 5.
