      abstract = {There is a clear and significant problem with the invasion  of basin ecosystems by a wide array of biological agents  impacting the social and economic systems, food supply, and  unique environments. Basin members share both an interest  in and dependency on trade with a great vulnerability to  the inherent risks associated with it. Moreover, what  threatens one generally is a threat to all. Mostly  unilateral, occasional bilateral and few multilateral  initiatives have been taken to cope with invasive alien  species and more are in the planning stages. Now the  challenge is how to take advantage of these initiatives and  weave them into a strategic, coordinated set of actions to  enhance prevention, exclusion, detection and management of  highthreat agents basin-wide. Through this collective  security approach, initiatives in regulation development,  institution building, training, research, public affairs,  and pest/disease/weed management would serve to strengthen  safeguarding systems basin-wide.},
