New web pages track control efforts on aquatic invasive species

Source: Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

Using record funding allocated last year by the Texas Legislature to fight aquatic invasive species, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and its partners are treating thousands of acres of lake-smothering giant salvinia and water hyacinth, forging partnerships with hundreds of riverside landowners to treat Arundo and saltcedar, and launching a multi-faceted public awareness campaign to slow the spread of zebra mussels, giant salvinia, and numerous other aquatic invasive species.

These are but a few of the nearly 40 projects now underway statewide supported through a comprehensive effort to combat aquatic invasive species.

The new Fighting Aquatic Invaders web pages will track progress of these projects, which address three major strategies: (1) Outreach and Prevention, (2) Research and Development, and (3) Aquatic Invasive Plant Management.

To learn more and stay connected, check the web pages for project updates, monthly articles and photos.
