Approach
Monitor for invasive species and suppress/eliminate/control populations.
Tactics
- Use environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring for early detection of non-native species invasions.
- Reduce or suppress brook trout populations.
- Construct barriers that prevent access/invasion to conservation populations in headwaters.
- Use monitoring and boat inspection programs to detect invasive mussels and aquatic plants species in lakes before populations are established.
- Conduct education during the initial stages of invasion (proactive crisis aversion).
