The Honorable, The Legislature:
Aquatic invasive species threaten Wisconsin's lakes, rivers and wetlands. They disrupt the natural balance of species in our waters and can take the fun out of boating, fishing, and swimming. Getting out on the water is an integral part of Wisconsin life and lakes are the economic engines of many rural counties and urban waterfronts. I am proud to report on the hard work of many committed volunteers and partners. Wisconsin has made significant progress in its efforts against unwanted invaders during 2010-2011.
Our plan for protecting the waters of Wisconsin is straightforward, and is implemented in a variety of ways by volunteers and staff in communities across the state.
In the following pages, you will read about the state's efforts to control aquatic invasive species (AIS) along with a few highlights over the past year. To get the most up-to-date information about Wisconsin's efforts to control aquatic invasive species, please visit our webpage at
www.dnr.wi.gov/invasives.
Prevent AIS from reaching Wisconsin
When I travel around the state and listen to our partners I am constantly impressed with the passion and commitment they show in sharing the prevention message. Clean Boats, Clean Waters inspectors spend countless hours at boat launches conducting watercraft inspections. Local AIS partners post AIS boat landing signs reminding boaters of required AIS prevention steps. County and regional AIS coordinators hold monitoring and watercraft inspection trainings all in an effort to educate and encourage active participation in the fight against AIS. I feel energized by our partners and know together we are making a difference and slowing the spread of AIS.
