The Hawaiʻi Shrimp Health Certification Program (SHCP), is administered by the Hawaiʻi Department of Agriculture. The disease surveillance and biosecurity practices upon which the program is based were initiated in the early 1980’s when intensive shrimp culture began to be explored in earnest in Hawaiʻi. The SHCP’s disease surveillance guidelines are based on the World Organization for Animal Health’s (OIE) aquatic animal health code; as is also the case for the USDA administered program for shrimp. The state and federal programs are both voluntary, and periodically require updates or changes. Despite significant programmatic overlap and both programs being based on the same WOAH framework, there are some differences between the programs that can lead to confusion about regulatory compliance requirements (such as specific disease surveillance testing needs, document submission, etc.). By working closely with colleagues at the federal level and with producers, we effectively reduced redundant testing by coordinating the timing of disease surveillance testing for the state program with what the producers needed to maintain compliance under the federal program.
