Learn about aquatic invasives May 5




The Cook County Invasives Team (CCIT) will hold a free workshop May 5 at the Community Center in Grand Marais.

Join Marte Kitson of the Minnesota Sea Grant to learn how you can help ensure that our lakes, rivers and streams remain clean and healthy. Whether you are a boater, angler or swimmer, you may be unknowingly transporting aquatic pests. Aquatic invasive species can easily cling to boats, docks, fishing equipment and more to spread from one lake to another.

The presence of invasive species in our waters threatens ecosystem and human health in addition to reducing recreation opportunities.

“Aquatic Invasive Species Identification and Prevention” will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Attendees will receive a $5 Conservation Cash Coupon to Buck’s Hardware Hank.
