are all committed to the preservation of the native fauna of the entire Mariana archipelago. Recognizing the need for a coordinated recovery program for the aga, FWS requested that a committee be appointed by the National Research Council to make appropriate scientific recommendations for its preservation.

The probable presence of introduced populations of the brown tree snake on other islands within the Mariana archipelago and elsewhere in the Pacific portends a sequence of severe ecological disruptions; this is a matter potentially far more serious than the preservation of the aga on Guam and Rota. Development and implementation of effective, large-scale methods for controlling the brown tree snake are urgently needed to prevent the further spread of this Australasian species to other islands and to enable the recovery of the aga population on Guam.

Recommendation 4. Place electric barriers in all nest trees to protect nests from brown tree snakes and monitor lizards, and increase trapping efforts in nest trees and adjacent areas.
