The State of Michigan allows appropriate advertising in its annual regulations to reduce costs of printing. Many states have adopted a similar strategy. Promotional advertising does not constitute endorsement by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Michigan's Fight Against Aquatic Invasive Species The state is doing many things to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species in Michigan’s waters to keep our rivers, lakes and streams world- class. Three specific efforts include grants, increasing awareness and reporting. 1. Invasive Species Grant Program - $3.6 million has been dedicated to fund projects that prevent, monitor and respond and eradicate new and current invasive species. 2. Attention anglers! You are our first line of defense in the fight against aquatic invasive species! We need your help, go online to www.michigan.gov/ invasivespecies to learn about what you can do. 3. If you see something strange – report it! Take a photo of the species in question and contact the DNR through www.michigan.gov/invasivespecies.
