Monitor for invasive species and suppress/eliminate/control populations

Tactics

Use environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring for early detection of non-native species invasions.
Reduce or suppress brook trout populations.
Construct barriers that prevent access/invasion to conservation populations in headwaters.
Use monitoring and boat inspection programs to detect invasive mussels and aquatic plants species in lakes before populations are established.
Conduct education during the initial stages of invasion (proactive crisis aversion).
