 Summarized current science and considered next steps detecting constrictors and estimating numbers ecosystem impacts tools for control human dimensions  Looked at long-established interagency response programs to find elements we might apply in Florida Science and Management of Large Constrictors

Risks to human safety of Burmese pythons are small (other constrictor species may differ) The public wants to be part of the solution Photo JD Willson Science Summary (P) Detection is very low Traps haven’t worked, try new ideas (refugia) Severe impacts to mammals confirmed; cascading ecosystem impacts likely

A formal, organized interagency management structure with high level involvement and dedicated funding is key to more-established, successful pest and invasive species control programs Summary of Response Programs Preclearance and Offshore Prevention Activities Agricultural Quarantine Inspection Activities Pest Detection and Emergency Response Pest Management USDA Safeguarding Continuum

Photo Robert Reed  Summarize current science and acquire funding for priority science outcomes of the workshop (in progress.) Next Steps for Constrictors  Gather land and resource management agencies together to discuss next steps for constrictor management in south Florida  Find ways to put additional skilled searchers (mostly people but also dogs) in the field.
