Surveillance and Pest Status Determination



Good day everyone, this is it. I have finally completed my my online course in "surveillance and Pest Status Determination".

This certificate was a challenge I must admit. It's course material was a lot. ....

My understanding of this course is that the NPPO has a heavy burden to carry to keep our countries/islands secure and we have so much work to do in my country of Grenada who is way behind on a ton of things. Beginning with laws and legislations to update. Then the true activation of the NPPO to get our tri island state more secure and no longer be a free port for various contraband. Its time we stepped into 2025 and upgraded of ports of entry with modern technology that with the help of other countries we can successfully implement.
