2 Outline Definition of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) AIS State Management Plan How does this impact wetlands AIS Program - AIS Core Team - AIS Advisory Council
3 What Are Aquatic Invasive Species? A species that is not native and whose introduction causes, or is likely to cause, economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
4
5 Pop quiz: What are the two most recent AIS verified as being established in the Great Lakes basin?
6 Pop quiz: What are the two most recent AIS verified as being established in the Great Lakes basin? Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) Bloody-red shrimp (Hemimysis anomala)
7 Why care about Aquatic Invasive Species? Compete with native species for food and habitat or indirectly harm native species. Effect diversity and abundance of native species Alter foodweb Economic effects Decreased commercial and recreational fisheries Decrease property values Decreased tourism Effects on utilities and other industries
8
9 Sea lamprey Major impacts to the food web Collapse of the lake trout fishery Explosion and collapse of the alewife population Now under control with management efforts costing $20 million each year. For over 30 years and into the future!
10 Phragmites Common reed Photo credit: MI Sea Grant Crowds out native plants and animals Effects property values Reduces access for recreation Creates fire hazard
11 Costs of management and control of AIS $20M/year $10M/year $25M/year Total = over $2.5 billion over 20 years
12 Pop Quiz What is the cost of the two most recent AIS verified as being established in the Great Lakes basin? Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) Bloody-red shrimp (Hemimysis anomala)
13 Pop Quiz $ tens of millions staff time, lost hatchery capacity, and research Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) $1.2 million on research projects and to develop diagnostic tests Bloody-red shrimp (Hemimysis anomala) $?
14 Total costs of AIS All AIS in GL region $5.7 billion per year Economic losses due to AIS caused ecological impacts (damages) + management and control costs = the total economic impact GL fishery $4.5 billion per year Aquatic + terrestrial invasive species nationally $137 billion/year

16 Aquatic Invasive Species Program Priorities AIS State Management Plan update and implementation (1996, 2002, 2013?) Priority Pathways and Vectors Canals - focus on the Chicago area waterway system and Asian Carp Ballast water control Organisms in trade
17 AIS State Management Plan Goal I: Prevent new introductions of AIS into Michigan waters. Goal II: Limit the spread of established populations of AIS into uninfested waters of the state. Goal III: Develop an early detection and rapid response program to address new AIS invasions. Goal IV: Manage and control AIS to lessen the harmful ecological, economic, social and public health impacts resulting from infestation of AIS.
