| Description |
By authority granted by Section 3.2-703 of the Code of Virginia, the Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services hereby establishes the Beach Vitex Quarantine in certain regulated areas of the state. Beach Vitex is a highly invasive, deciduous, woody vine native to Asia that grows rapidly along dunes and shorelines causing damage to these areas by crowding out native plants and threatening the habitats of various animals. The purpose of these proposed regulatory changes is to prevent the long distance, artificial spread of Beach Vitex from coastal areas of the Commonwealth which are infested with Beach Vitex to other areas which are not infested. The proposed amendments will reduce the impact of the Beach Vitex to coastal areas and protect Virginia’s native plants and wildlife.
