Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve wants you to have ‘the talk’.
With boating season on its way, officials are starting to remind people about the dangers of zebra mussels.
At a recent Aquatic Invasive Species Stakeholder Summit Jim Irwin, Chair of the Riding Mountain UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, explains why people should have the talk about invasive species.
“What we’re hoping is that people who are aware of it will talk with their family and their friends, their neighbours, and so on. Especially if they are on a lake and their friend comes in, say from a control zone area, to ensure that they have been decontaminated and there is no possibility that it could contaminate their lake.”
You can find out more information about ‘the talk’ by going to the biosphere’s website rmbr.ca.
