NY Sea Grant Watercraft Inspection Webinar Series:Slowing Aquatic Invasive Spread in 2019

January 31, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

The 2019 edition of the Watercraft Inspection Program Leader educational webinar series developed by New York Sea Grant and featuring coastal science and AIS specialists begins on January 17 and will connect participants from multiple states.

Four sessions in the webinar series will address issues associated with recreational boating as a key pathway in the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS), making watercraft inspection a critical contributor to limiting the spread of AIS among the more than 7,000 lakes, ponds, and rivers in New York State and waters elsewhere.

Participants can join any or all of the one-hour, free-access webinars available from 10 am to 11 am. Register at https://goo.gl/QzjodX. For more information, contact New York Sea Grant at 315-331-8415, www.nyseagrant.org/watercraftinspection.
