The Aquatic Invasive Species Webinar Series brings in experts from a broad range of aquatic invasive species topics to share the latest updates in aquatic invasive species prevention, management, education, and outreach. Each webinar in the series offers participants an opportunity to hear a presentation from a researcher with ample Q&A time to engage with the speaker on the topic.
The presentations are intended for a broad audience including resource management agency staff, lake managers, researchers, lakeshore residents, and other interested members of the community. Can't join live? Recordings of each session are made available on the AIS Detectors program's YouTube channel, so you can stay informed at your convenience.
