Invasives training session being held to ID species

Volunteers are being trained to monitor local boat launches for invasive plants and animals.  A session is being held in Norwalk this weekend by the state Department of energy and Environmental Protection. 

 

Zebra mussels were discovered in Lake Zoar and Lake Lillinonah in 2010 and in Lake Housatonic in 2011. 

 

The training will be how to identify invasive species and instruct boaters to do the same, in hopes of preventing them from spreading.  Boaters are urged to clean all plant, fish, animals and mud from their vessel before leaving a launch, dry anything that comes in contact with the water, and drain all water from every space on the boat before the next launch.
