Upcoming Webinar on the Treatment Permitting Process!

[IISG ICC]

Invasive Crayfish Collaborators,

We are hosting our next webinar on Wednesday, January 24th at 1:00pm CT / 2:00pm ET! We look forward to the seminar titled "What do you mean I need a permit? Lessons learned- Michigan pond chemical treatments for invasive red swamp crayfish'', presented by Annie Allert from the U.S. Geological Survey. Annie will summarize key regulations governing pond treatments for invasive crayfish, specifically focusing on the invasive Red Swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). She will also discuss the collaborative approach for permitting used in Michigan and give examples of permitting documents, treatment equipment, and staffing requirements. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

Full Description: Resource managers are increasing awareness of the significant impact of invasive crayfish on native crayfish and ecosystems; however, many agencies lack integrative pest management plans to control invasive crayfish populations. Chemical control is potentially an effective tool; however, resource managers may not be familiar with the regulations governing the use of pesticides. Annie Allert from the U.S. Geological Survey will summarize key regulations governing pond treatments for invasive crayfish, specifically the invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). She will also discuss the collaborative approach for permitting used in Michigan and give examples of permitting documents, treatment equipment, and staffing requirements.
