Emerging Aquatic Invasive Species in Vermont Inland Lakes
On January 19th, 2023, the Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds held a special event to discuss emerging aquatic invasive species (AIS).
The prevention and control of aquatic invasive species is a growing challenge for Vermont inland lakes. In neighboring regions, new invasive threats are moving towards Vermont. This seminar will discuss three emerging threats, providing detailed descriptions, the geography of current infestations, the impacts to lake ecosystems, and available control techniques.
Topics included:
- Overview of existing AIS infestations – Kim Jensen, VT DEC
- Hydrilla – Mike Greer, USACE
- Round Goby – Ellen Marsden, UVM
- Spiny and Fishhook Waterflea – Jason Stockwell, UVM
