South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department Extends Aquatic Invasive Species Plan through 2020
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department has developed an updated aquatic invasive species management plan to guide department activities through 2020.
The revised plan is an extension of the 2008 plan and was developed with cooperation from state, federal and non-government partners to help control and prevent the spread of such aquatic invasive species as Asian carp and zebra mussels.
Mike Smith is GF&P's aquatic invasive species statewide coordinator. He says comments were gathered from different groups during the drafting of the plan, but it's important for the public to review it and provide input.
The 2016-2020 plan highlights the potential problems that aquatic invasive species may cause to South Dakota's aquatic resources and their effects on boaters, anglers and others.
