Part A – Background (1)Executive Summary & Objectives Executive Summary The assessment and use of biological control techniques to address key invasive weeds in or near water. • Project Objectives • Target at least 3 weeds for Defra and any EU contributors • Carry out overseas surveys with collaborators • identify and prioritise natural enemies (NE) for biocontrol • Establish funded collaborations in area of origin • Establish cultures of NEs and test plants • Host range test NEs • Produce project report • Develop Phase 3 of project i.e dossier submission and release planning • Manage publicity outputs
Part A – Background (2)Key Stakeholders and Beneficiaries • Stakeholders and Beneficiaries:- • Donor(s): Defra through the Environment Agency + any EU sponsor • End-user(s): EA, River Trusts, British Waterways etc • Partner(s): USDA South American Biocontrol Laboratory, DEEDI Australia, NBPGR India, University of Tasmania • CABI Centres/Departments: E-UK with involvement of India and E-CH
Part B – Implementation (1)Proposed Organisation Structure • Corporate Management: PMG • Project Board:- • Project Executive: Sean Murphy • Senior Users: Janny Vos • Senior Suppliers: Carol Ellison, Ulrich Kuhlmann, Ravi Khetarpal • Project Assurance: Janny Vos • CABI Budget-holder – Sean MurphyNote that, if not the Project Executive, the CABI Budget-holder must have written confirmation from the Project Executive, and the Project Manager if required by Project Executive, prior to authorising payment. • Project Manager: Dick Shaw • Team Managers: Rob Tanner, Djami Djeddour, Sonal Varia, Marion Seier (all to become project managers once split into individual projects)
