Here are a few excerpts:
“… the goal is to see if there's a potential to control the frogs that have spread to each district.”
“The First International Conference on the Coqui Frog is slated to be held Feb. 7-9 at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. East Hawaii locations were deemed to be too small for the anticipated 150 attendees, so the resort was chosen because it worked well for past conferences…”
“Conference topics will include amphibian ecology, physiology, genetics, population dynamics and habitat.
“It will be the first conference of its kind in the world”
The conference is officially being presented by the county's Coqui Frog Working Group, whose members include the state Department of Agriculture, the University of Hawaii at Hilo's Biology Department, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the private Hawaii Island Economic Development Board.”
“Attendees will be charged $125 each for the three-day conference or $75 apiece to attend just one day … People seeking help controlling coqui frogs can call Shiroma at 961-8065. Inquiries about borrowing a sprayer from the USDA should be directed to 933-6955. Additional information concerning the conference is available at http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/coqui/conf08.asp.
