17 MINNESOTA WATERS 2.0 AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES (AIS) PREVENTION POSITION AND 2012 WORK PLAN Minnesota Waters has received a groundswell of support for strong AIS advocacy and actions, which are helping guide program development for Minnesota Waters 2.0. Nothing warms a room like a cozy cabinet. 17753 State Hwy 371, Brainerd, MN • 218-828-0620 • www.CrowWingCabinets.com Based on Minnesota Waters’ 2009 Position Paper, “AIS in Minnesota’s Waters - An Aquademic,” Minnesota Waters’ 2.0 2011 position statement outlines the key statewide strategies needed for an effective AIS prevention system across Minnesota. The position statement explains that Minnesota Waters believes: - Every watercraft and piece of equipment leaving a known infested water body must be decontaminated. - Every out-of-state watercraft entering Minnesota should be decontaminate before launching on any Minnesota lake or stream. - AIS enforcement is a critical element of the AIS protection system and must be expanded. - AIS inspections must be expanded. - A sustainable, adequate funding source must be created to support statewide AIS prevention. - The above programs must be private enterprise-friendly and state endorsed.

The recent finding of zebra mussels in Gull Lake and preventing the spread of other aquatic invasive species (AIS) into the chain of lakes is going to present some significant challenges. But we will continue to strive for solutions to protect this resource.” M E E T M O R E GCOLA BOARD MEMBERS by attending our regularly scheduled monthly meetings. See page 22 for more information.
