Aquatic Invasive Species in Wisconsin Lakes – New Insights and Lessons Learned
About this Talk
If you’ve spent some time on or around our lakes, you’ve likely encountered one of the several aquatic invasive species residing in Greater Madison’s lakes. Dr. Tyler Butts will discuss recent research findings about aquatic invasive species in Wisconsin’s lakes, with a special focus on the Yahara chain of lakes. He will review their spread, impacts, and what it all means for lake health and management in a changing world.
