Majority Leader Sen Cardin -

We will also look today at two bills to control the import of deadly constrictor snakes and Asian Carp into the United States. We heard dramatic testimony from Senator Nelson in front of this subcommittee this past July on the number of invasive constrictor snakes in Florida and the dangers these snakes pose to humans and to the environment.

I am especially interested in acting on this issue. USGS projections show that, with climate change, the eastern shore of Maryland could become a suitable home to these deadly snakes! Meanwhile, Asian Carp are becoming an ever increasing threat to biodiversity in the Great Lakes.
Remarks as prepared for delivery - Sen. Cardin
