Course Resources


Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) planning is a management tool that provides a structured method to identify risks and focus procedures in natural resource pathway activities.  Understanding pathways and developing plans to reduce non-target species and prevent biological contamination is necessary to avoid unintended spread of species.  Using practical examples, a case study, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn principles of pathway management planning as a tool to reduce the spread of non-target species.  The primary intent of this course is to prepare participants to develop and implement a HACCP plan.

College Credit:  1 semester hour

Who Should Attend: Biologists, technicians, researchers, managers, and supervisors working with natural resource management.

Length: 2 days/16 hours

Objectives:  By the end of this session, the participant will be able to:

  • Describe natural resource pathways and risks;
  • Explain the value and importance of pathway management planning;
  • Summarize principles of HACCP planning as a pathway management tool;
  • Recognize differences and relationships between; non-target species, aquatic nuisance species, invasive species, native and non-native species;
  • Compare control points and critical control points;
  • Develop pathway management plans through a team effort; and
  • Evaluate pathway plans for completeness and accuracy.
