Controlling Aquatic Invasive Species
A Proposal for the 2013-15 Biennial State Budget
Wisconsin Lakes is launching a major effort to move Wisconsin Lakes forward in its battle to control aquatic invasive species (AIS). We've developed a comprehensive package that seeks to prevent new invasive species from establishing themselves in Wisconsin, to contain those species that are already present and keep them from spreading, and to reduce the impact of established species on the infected waterbodies. After consultation with the Dept of Natural Resources, regional groups, and our membership, we've identified six key elements necessary to successfully control the AIS problem, and present a number of options to fund these new initiatives and programs.

Wisconsin Lakes 2013-14 Public Policy Agenda Prior to the beginning of each two-year session of the Wisconsin legislature, the staff and Board of Directors of Wisconsin Lakes indentify the areas of public policy that we deem of crucial interest to our lakes and waters in the coming year, and decide on any specific actions we plan to take to further the public policy elements of our mission. Our 2013-14 Public Policy Agenda is now available. See what issues we've identified for the upcoming session! Welcome to Wisconsin Lakes
