Enhancing Monitoring and Rapid Response Strategies for Aquatic Invasive Species Management

The Monitoring and Rapid Response Team, led by Mike Weimer, focuses on managing aquatic invasive species, particularly Asian carp, through innovative monitoring techniques and rapid response actions. Funded by the FWS, efforts include assessing barrier efficacy via DIDSON cameras, evaluating the effectiveness of the Des Plaines River Barrier, and refining capture gear through electrofishing. The 2011 monitoring plan is undergoing annual updates to adapt to new technological advancements and address data gaps in species identification and fisheries management.

Presentation Transcript

  1. 2.1.2 Monitoring and Rapid Response Team Support Mike Weimer

  2. Introduction and Objectives • 2.1.2-Funding supports FWS role on Monitoring and Rapid Response Workgroup and their prescribed actions

  3. Current Knowledge • Specific FWS activities under 2.1.2: • DIDSON camera to determine barrier efficacy • Monitoring effectiveness of Des Plaines River Barrier • Electrofishing (CAWS, selected waters) • Asian carp gear monitoring/capture development and refinement • Support of other monitoring plan activities

  4. Future Plans • 2011 version of the monitoring plan is currently under final review • The monitoring plan will be updated annually

  5. Technological or Other Hurdles • Processes/permitting associated with Rapid Response actions (Rotenone permitting, Big City Logistics, eDNA result turn around time)

  6. Data Gaps • Further refinement of interpretation of results from eDNA sampling • More robust interpretation of results from • traditional fishery gears (e.g. modeling, gear efficiency calibration)
