On January 19th, 2023, the Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds held a special event to discuss emerging aquatic invasive species (AIS).
Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for our Special Event: Emerging Aquatic Invasive Species in Vermont Inland Lakes.
The prevention and control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) is a growing challenge for Vermont inland lakes. In neighboring regions, new invasive threats are moving towards Vermont. This seminar discussed three emerging threats, provided detailed descriptions, the geography of current infestations, the impacts to lake ecosystems, and available control techniques.
