Aquatic Invasive Species Program Prevent, Control, or Eradicate Aquatic Invasive Species

Enhanced aquatic invasive plant monitoring has revealed sparse areas of plant infestations between previously defined project areas. The South Shore Offshore Aquatic Invasive Plant Planning and Control project implements a new strategy to evaluate, plan, and implement control treatments in aquatic invasive plant-infested areas over a larger landscape vs. individual, specific areas. Work commenced in 2025 in the following unit locations: Taylor-Tallac offshore, Camp Richardson, Edgewood 1, Edgewood 2, and Nevada Beach.
