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 # 5 - Control Zones. This video provides a detailed look at the steps you should take before moving water related equipment from water body to water body. The movement of watercraft and water related equipment from one water body to another poses the greatest threat to spreading AIS. Control Zones are areas in Manitoba with known AIS invasions. To combat this increased threat, decontamination is required before placing watercraft into a waterbody outside that control zone.
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/...
