This series of 1-hour webinars will share the new Local Government Aquatic Invasive Species Online Toolkit and walk through regional case studies.

Each of the three webinars will be similar – however, a different waterbody will be emphasized from different regions of the country, but anyone is welcome to register for any of the webinars.

The Role of Local Municipalities and Entities in Addressing Aquatic Invasive Species is a project focused on helping municipalities access the tools necessary to play a role in aquatic invasive species prevention efforts. Although a substantial amount of attention has been placed on federal and state invasive species policy needs, the potential exists for municipalities to play a significant role in invasive species prevention efforts by addressing key gaps not addressed by state and federal regulations. Local government efforts to address invasive species risks are generally not mobilized in a coordinated or effective manner, this toolkit aims to help bridge the gaps and help empower local government to take action to protect their waters from the impacts of invasive species.
