"Great Lakes Aquatic Invasive Species Landing Blitz" Webinar Handout
This is a handout from our webinar, "Great Lakes Aquatic Invasive Species Landing Blitz". The Great Lakes Basin is home to many aquatic invasive species. These species can spread through microscopic larvae or plant parts on watercrafts, trailers, and gear. The Great Lakes AIS Landing Blitz is an outreach event that works with multiple partners to manage invasive species and raise awareness. The event takes place over a two-week period in the summer and focuses on AIS prevention and containment, increasing awareness and responsible behavior, and promoting partnerships.
"Great Lakes Aquatic Invasive Species Landing Blitz" webinar with Cecilia Weibert
Boaters and other recreators learn about the risks of spreading aquatic invasive species (AIS) at public and private boating access sites across the Great Lakes region every summer. The Great Lakes AIS “Landing Blitz” events take place over a two-week period, emphasizing the need to Clean, Drain, Dry boats whenever they come out of the water, and Dispose of any unwanted bait in the trash. Local volunteers partner with state and provincial agencies to deliver consistent messaging about preventing the introduction and spread of AIS from the movement of watercraft and equipment between water bodies. Join us to learn more about how AIS can be moved on boats, and how you can help prevent the introduction or spread of AIS in your lakes!
