The 
May Chapter meeting will feature Sarah N. Whitney who will discuss aquatic invasive species. Aquatic invasive species are species found outside their natural geographic range that cause ecological or economic harm, or harm to human health. Aquatic invasive species can be spread by human activities, such as boating, angling, and water gardening, to name a few. Preventing the introduction and spread of AIS should be a top priority in Pennsylvania as the state has more than 84,000 miles of streams, 77 miles of Great Lakes shoreline and many inland lakes, and shares five major watersheds with other states and Canada. In this talk, PASG’s Sarah Whitney will present information about AIS of concern in Pennsylvania and highlight the steps boaters, anglers, and others can take to prevent the introduction and spread of AIS.
