ICC Workshop at UMISC

[IISG ICC]

Invasive Crayfish Collaborators,

We're excited to announce that the Invasive Crayfish Collaborative (ICC) will be hosting a workshop at the upcoming Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference (UMISC) in Duluth, Minnesota. The workshop will be held on Thursday, November 14 from 10:20 AM to 12:00 PM. 

This will be a great opportunity to connect with other crayfish enthusiasts, collaborate, and get energized about important future ICC projects. We invite you to join us as we discuss high-priority projects for 2025 that align with our recently developed five-year strategic plan (PDF). 

During the workshop, we will:

1. Review and discuss the upcoming projects and initiatives for 2025, such as:
• Assessing field sampling guides and methods for broad applicability.
• Organizing workshops for both invasive species experts and non-experts.
• Refining and expanding risk assessments and decision-making tools for managers.
2. Map out actionable steps and identify necessary resources.
3. Set clear goals and timelines for 2025.
