What does good AIS management look like?
Minnesota’s waters are among our most treasured resources, but the health of the waterways we love is increasingly threatened by aquatic invasive species (AIS). Across the state, local communities, lake associations, natural resource professionals, and government agencies are working together to prevent the spread of AIS and protect healthy lakes. At the heart of these efforts are hundreds of local management projects designed to address unique challenges and priorities.
The answer to the question “What does good AIS management look like?” is more complex than it may first appear. Effective AIS management requires balancing science, water quality goals, habitat protection, community priorities, available resources, and regulatory requirements. Successful projects are built through thoughtful planning, strong partnerships, and a shared understanding of desired outcomes.
In this Aquatic Invaders Webinar, Minnesota Lakes & Rivers (MLR) will explore the key elements that contribute to successful AIS management—from planning and implementation to long-term sustainability. Join a panel of natural resource professionals as they share practical insights, real-world examples, and strategies for protecting Minnesota’s waters today and for future generations.
