Aquatic Invasive Species
(AIS)
Management and Prevention Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) can harm native ecosystems or recreational activities. AIS is invasive because they can choke out our lakes and kill off native plants and animals, including fish. Donations to TLAS are utilized not only to maintain but prevent further infestation from other known AIS.
The goal is to maintain the overall quality of Turtle Lake.
CD3 Boat Cleaning Station to Stop AIS
In corporation with Ramsey County, TLAS helped install the CD3 boat cleaning station at Turtle Lake County Park. The station offers a CD3 (Clean, Drain, Dry and Dispose) cleaning system that's free to use. The unit provides a variety of self-service resources including an air blower, wet-dry vacuum, hand tools and lights to help you remove, then dispose of, water, weeds, debris and leftover bait.
