What are Invasive Species? Those plants, animals, insects, etc. that are not native to a given region and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental damage or harm to human health AKA exotic, nuisance, alien, introduced, foreign, immigrant, imported, weedy, feral, naturalized… Examples of well known, nonnative, terrestrial invaders: english ivy, starlings, gypsy moth, fire ants, cheat grass and kudzu

What are Aquatic Invasive Species? SmallLarge

Impacts Environmental Harm –Decrease in native populations –Physical alteration of communities –Alteration of ecological processes Economic Costs –Loss of recreation/tourism opportunities –Reduced harvest/value –Increased maintenance costs Human Health Hazards –Drowning

Threats to PNW Waters Aquatic Weeds Snails Bivalves Crayfish Fish Pathogens, parasites and more

PNW’s Least Wanted: Zebra/quagga mussels Hydrilla Asian Carp

Pathways Recreational boating Movement of in-water equipment Shipping (ballast water and hull fouling) Aquarium and pet trade releases Bucket biologists… Prevention

Regulatory Framework Federal –Executive Order –Lacey Act, NISA Regional* QZAP, CRBRRP States –AIS Management Plans –Prohibited Species Lists –FERC 401 Water Quality Standards Other State Agency Input –HACCP Plans
