SUMMARY:Conversations About Conservation: Purple loosestrife bio-control
DESCRIPTION:The Upper Sugar River Watershed Association is involved in purple loosestrife control efforts. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has developed a program to engage citizens in this work\, especially through rearing and releasing biological control insects. Conservationists have found this project to be a practical undertaking for communities and the basis for more effective teaching about plants\, insects\, invasive species\, and wetland ecology. The project supplies a crucial step in turning the tide of an invasive while engaging environmentally active citizens. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The AIS-Team: Conservation officers on a mission to prevent invasive species
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s tracking invasive species imports or making sure boaters “Clean\, Drain and Dry\,” conservation officers play a key role in Michigan’s Invasive Species Program. Corporal Nick Torsky of the Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division’s Great Lakes Enforcement Unit will discuss the unit’s role in the battle against aquatic invasive species. Join Corporal Torsky to learn more about enforcement of boating and bait-related regulations\, oversight of Michigan’s organisms-in-trade\, interagency cooperation across the Great Lakes Basin\, and some recent investigations that highlight the Department’s enforcement efforts. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:A new tool in the toolbox: an update on biological control of introduced Phragmites
DESCRIPTION:In the first webinar of the Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative’s 2022 webinar series\, Dr. Michael McTavish\, a postdoc as the University of Toronto\, shares a research update on the use of stem-boring moths as a biocontrol method for invasive Phragmites management. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Testing Emphasis Message Frames and Metaphors on Social Media to Engage Boaters to Learn about Preventing the Spread of Zebra Mussels
DESCRIPTION:Message frames are often used to communicate about invasive species due to the additional meaning they provide. They appear in calls to action like “join the battle against invasive species\,” “unwelcome exotics\,” or “Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers.” However\, little is known about how stakeholders respond to these message frames. This research tested five common message emphasis frames used in invasive species communication. \nInfo here.
