TOWN OF NAMAKAGON: Eurasian Water Milfoil Watch & Education

The Town of Namakagon will conduct a 1-year project to monitor 9 public access points, and seven pre-determined bays on the Lake Namakagon system for the presence of EWM or other aquatic invasive species. Also included is a volunteer watercraft inspection program in accordance with the Wisconsin "Clean Boats, Clean Waters" program on the five most heavily used public access points. To accomplish these goals, a private consultant will be hired to provide aquatic plant and aquatic invasive species surveys at each of the nine access points four times during the season. The same consultant will survey the seven bays at least once during the season. Volunteers participating in a watercraft inspection program at the five busiest landings will provide in-kind match donations.
