Draft Hawaii Interagency Biosecurity Plan: Darcy Oishi
You’ve no doubt heard the expression that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It’s an idea that informed the protection of Hawaii from invasive species. Now the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is taking the concept to a new level.

The plan is also the first time there will be coordination among partner agencies. Darcy Oishi is the Biological Control Section chief with the Department of Agriculture.
