Little Program, BIG Responsibility! A behind the scenes look at how Saskatchewan manages a provincial watercraft inspection program to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species

January 18, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Stop! Overland transportation of watercraft between waterbodies is one of the most notorious pathways responsible for the accidental spread of harmful aquatic invasive species across North America (e.g., zebra and quagga mussels). If you have towed a boat across a provincial or state border, you may have stopped at a mandatory “Watercraft Inspection Station” during your travels. These stations are fundamental to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Join the Saskatchewan Aquatic Invasive Species team (Jeri Geiger and Paige Collopy) to learn about the “6 W’s” of watercraft inspection and get a behind the scenes look at how the province of Saskatchewan manages it’s watercraft inspection program.

This webinar will be presented by Jeri Geiger, Aquatic Invasive Species Team Lead and Paige Collopy, Aquatic Invasive Species Ecologist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment.
