 Professionals from all over the world will be in Minnesota this month for the third annual Aquatic Invaders Summit. The summit is a place where everyone in the lake industry and community members can gather to share information about aquatic invasive species. Experts will talk about the research on new species that they have found as well as share ways on how to prevent the species from spreading. This year's event will be held in the Earl Brown Heritage Center down in Minneapolis. We'll research into zebra mussels and how they spread and the vectors of spread looks at fisheries management. What are the impacts of AIS on our fisheries with kind of a focus on malax and what is happening there and what might happen in the future. The summit will run February 28th through March 1st.
