The importance of prevention emphasizes the importance of prevention – Grand Forks Herald in North Dakota

Bismarck-4. Until May 10, North Dakota was called the aquatic harassment week in order to increase the public understanding of the preventive steps that the recreational forces must follow in order to stop the introduction and spread of in the waterways of the state.

There are no native plants, animals or pathogens that can influence the ecology of lakes and rivers and the economic and leisure value of these waterways.

Get Ben, coordinator for the state game and the fish department, said that the Awareness Week consists of state and federal authorities that highlight the ongoing efforts in North Dakota.

“The ways of introducing the ANS are great. Therefore, it is important to sensitize the awareness of different platforms in order to achieve many unique water consumers,” said Getten. “Awareness is a collaborative approach among partners and conscientious citizens.”

North Dakota currently has a small number of water disabilities. Apart from zebras mussels, there are only a few invasive plants and animals – Curly Leaf Pondweed, Eurasian Watermilfoil, Bluming Rush and Gras, Bighead, Silver and Common Carp.

In order to combat the introduction and distribution of unwanted invasive, Getten said that some of the joint burdens fall on water users. The department for game and fish department encourages anglers, amusement boaters and others to clean, dismiss and dry all devices after each use.

• Clean and remove all plants or animals from watercraft or devices before leaving a leisure area.
• Drain and remove water from all devices before ending the specified access points. The non -drop of water can be extremely dangerous and negligent transport of to to different locations.
• Then make sure that all devices are completely dry before you are used again.
