Description
The Minnesota DNR and the Wisconsin DNR are teaming up in a concentrated effort to stop the spread of Invasive Fish Species such as Silver and Bighead Carp in the upper Mississippi River basin, including the St. Croix River.
Come and see the Minnesota DNR’s new Electrofishing Boat with on-the-water demonstrations of fish collection techniques in the bay north of the Hudson dike around 1pm and 3pm (water conditions permitting).
There will also be display booths at the Beach House Pavilion. You will have the opportunity to meet the Aquatics and Fisheries Biologists who are working hard to stop these large and voracious fish from out competing our native fish. These agencies will also have display booths with videos, technology demonstrations and printed materials. Information will also be available on controlling other aquatic and terrestrial invasive species.
