The swift expansion of European frog-bit from coastal marshes to inland waterbodies is alarming. Although occurrences are increasing, there is still an opportunity to slow and prevent its spread if we can get the word out. We are asking the public to report sightings to EGLE at EGLE-WRD-ANC@michigan.gov or 517-284-5593.
Or via the Midwest Invasive Species Information Network at MISIN.MSU.edu.
EGLE has rack cards and weather resistant signs reminding boaters to clean, drain and dry their watercraft. They are available at no cost while supplies last. You can contact Kevin Walters at waltersk3@michigan.gov to get some for your lake.
