The snails not only eat hundreds of types of plants, they also crawl up the sides of buildings and consume the calcium from the stucco and plaster found there before leaving behind their droppings.,"These snails could be devastating to Florida agriculture and natural areas as they cause extensive damage to tropical and subtropical environments," the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) warned.,Beyond the damage to plants and buildings, the snails carry with them a dangerous threat to humans, too. Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) most often infect the lungs of rats and other rodents, but can be transmitted through their digestive system. The lungworm larvae is then found in rat feces, which then infect the snails.,Humans can come into contact with the lungworms either by eating undercooked snails, fruits and vegetables contaminated by the infected snails, or consuming undercooked frogs and crabs that have snacked on a sick snail. While the parasite sometimes dies in a human’s central nervous system, other times it can travel through the brain and cause meningitis: a swelling around the brain and spinal cord which can lead to paralysis, comas, and death.,Thankfully, thus far scientists have yet to detect rat lungworm in the snails that have been wrangled in Pasco County, says Greg Hodges, who is an assistant director of the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Division of Plant Industry.,“Let me assure you, we will eradicate these snails. We have done it twice before, and we will do it again – it is not a question of if, but when. Together, let’s locate, communicate, and eradicate, so Florida can again be GALS free,” said Florida Commissioner Nikki Fried.,The state of Florida has set up a quarantine that runs from the northwest corner of the U.S. 19-Ridge Road intersection, and east to Little Road and south to Trouble Creek Road in New Port Richey, Pasco County. In this quarantine area, residents are restricted from touching or moving found snails, as well as plants, soil, compost, and yard waste. Those who do find any other snails are asked to contact state authorities.,At least 30 state employees are searching for the snails and are being assisted by dogs trained to sniff out the invasive critters. Authorities are also using metaldehyde to kill the snails, a pesticide that affects their mucus production and causes lethal dehydration.,The last time Florida dealt with a snail invasion, those giant African snails were dark gray and brown, but now? Authorities are finding the snails to have whiter, cream-colored bodies and dark shells. These newer snails are heavily sought after in the pet trade industry, but in Florida it is illegal to import or own a giant African snail without a permit. However, Florida state authorities have discovered individuals doing just that.。　　全国政协副主席、广州南沙粤港合作咨询委员会顾问梁振英表示，香港市民酷爱海上活动，若能大幅降低活动成本，同时拓展可活动海域，香港的游艇休闲、体育赛事等水上活动将有望实现普及化。这不仅是满足市民对美好生活的向往、提升香港生活质量的重要举措，也是培育旅游相关新兴产业、打造未来经济增长点的有效路径。游艇产业链涵盖修造、船用设备生产、融资租赁、保险经纪、注册登记、培训教练，以及面向本地与外来游客的旅游服务，未来还可拓展至游艇贸易出口等领域。　　南沙开发区管委会副主任袁飚表示，粤港澳大湾区海洋资源得天独厚，粤港澳游艇自由行政策持续落地，为游艇产业发展打开广阔空间。香港拥有国际化成熟游艇产业链与运营服务经验，南沙坐拥完整造船产能、维修实力、游艇出入境口岸与创新扶持政策，两地资源互补、机遇叠加，携手共建湾区游艇生活圈恰逢其时。　　在研讨环节，嘉宾围绕游艇修造、金融创新、游艇销售、海洋旅游、码头设计等全产业链议题展开深入交流。
