Dane County Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention and Control Plan

Dane County's Office of Lakes and Watersheds prepared, in 2009, an Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention and Control Plan. Implementing the plan involves the county working together with stakeholder groups, surrounding counties and the state to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species in Dane County waters. The plan serves as a guide for Dane County and its partners in combating problems caused by aquatic invasive species that are already here, such as Eurasian water milfoil, and in preventing the introduction of others such as Asian carp and Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia. The Office of Lakes and Watersheds received state funding from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to help implement the plan.
