Aquatic Invasive Species Smart Prevention / Press Release -- Where the Invasive Things Are -- and Where They Could Be (Mar 9, 2010)
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Researchers at the Center for Limnology have launched a new Web site, Aquatic Invasive Species Smart Prevention, to help assess the threat of aquatic invasive species in Wisconsin's lakes. The researchers partnered with the UW-Madison Applied Population Lab to develop an interactive Web site displaying a map of Wisconsin with more than 12,000 lakes color-coded to reflect their environmental suitability for zebra mussels, and are in the process of expanding the site with maps for additional species.
