The Manitoba Wildlife Federation is proud to announce the AIS educational video series. Aquatic Invasive Species are a serious threat to Manitoba’s waterbodies and ecosystems. AIS are easy to spread and almost impossible to remove once established. Our greatest chance in the fight against the threat of AIS is prevention. Everyone who visits a waterbody in Manitoba plays a vital role in safeguarding our province from the further establishment of AIS. Whatever your reason for visiting Manitoba’s waterbodies this summer, whether it be: ice fishing/fishing, relaxing at the beach, water sports, or canoe trips, it is everyone’s responsibility to do their part by following the Clean, Drain and Dry steps. Be sure to watch all 5 videos in the series to fully understand your role in the fight against AIS.
Video # 4 - Decontamination. This video provides a detailed look at the process of decontaminating watercraft in Manitoba. One of the largest misconceptions on AIS prevention is that water users are required to decontaminate their equipment every time they use a water body in Manitoba. However, as explained in this video, decontamination is a disinfection procedure that aims to kill any overlooked AIS. This is an additional step following Clean, Drain, and Dry and only applies when items have been removed from an area known to have AIS.
Our goal with this video series is to reduce some of the confusion of AIS in the province. The main takeaway from these videos is that 1) AIS is a serious threat, 2) It is EVERYONES responsibility to help stop the spread, and 3) By following the simple Clean, Drain and Dry steps EVERY TIME you visit a waterbody in Manitoba, together we can greatly reduce the spread of AIS. For more detailed information on how you can help stop the spread of AIS follow the link below. Thanks for watching! www.gov.mb.ca/...
