2020 Aquatic Invasive Mussels Monitoring Program
Aquatic Invasive Mussels Monitoring Program
Photo Taken at Struthers Lake.
This past summer, Carrot River Valley Watershed CRVWA, monitored lakes within the Watershed for Aquatic Invasive Species. Placing substrate samplers in Codette Lake, Tobin Lake, Struthers Lake, Wakaw Lake, Lucien Lake, Kipabiskau Lake, Greenwater Lake. Volunteers at Wakaw Lake also placed substrate sampler at various places within Wakaw Lake. The Clean, drain, dry signage was posted at all docks.
With the upcoming ice fishing season, it is also important to note that ice fishing gear can also bring invasive species like the Zebra mussel, to other invasive free lakes. Remember to clean drain dry all your gear when enjoying the winter fishing season.
If you see a substrate sampler hanging from the dock at any of the above listed lakes please feel free to give the CRVWA a call, to learn about the importance of keeping our lakes free from invasive species.
This project we have partnered with, Fish and Wildlife Development Fund Invasive species centre.
