Description:
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are a growing problem in Minnesota, impacting the environment, economy, and our way of life. There are many uninvaded waters to protect and opportunities for innovation to control established AIS populations. The Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) was created in 2012 at the University of Minnesota to develop research-based solutions to Minnesota's AIS problems. MAISRC is making progress on numerous fronts to prevent, control and manage species such as zebra mussels, spiny water flea, Eurasian milfoil, starry stonewort, and more. MAISRC Associate Professor, Nicholas Phelps will highlight AIS of greatest concern to Itasca County and research advancements to mitigate their impacts.
