Status of Felt Restrictions in the United States
Since 2009 there has been an increasing move toward restricting the use of felt soled waders and wading boots. Effective Jan 1, 2012 Rhode Island has banned the use of felt soles in both fresh and salt water. With the Alaska statewide ban also taking effect on Jan 1 there will be four states (Alaska, Maryland, Rhode Island and Vermont) with statewide bans. Missouri will be implementing a ban on felt in trout waters effective Mar 1, 2012. See The Science of Felt (2009) to look at the science driving the move to eliminate the use of felt soled waders.

Where
the Invasive Things Are -- and Where
They Could Be (Mar 9, 2010)
University of
Wisconsin-Madison.
Researchers at the Center
for Limnology have launched a new Web
site, Aquatic
Invasive Species Smart Prevention,
to help assess the threat of aquatic invasive
species in Wisconsin's lakes. The
researchers partnered with the UW-Madison
Applied Population Lab to develop an interactive
Web site displaying a map of Wisconsin
with more than 12,000 lakes color-coded
to reflect their environmental suitability
for zebra
mussels, and are in the process of
expanding the site with maps for additional
species.

Assessment
of the Efficacy, Availability and Environmental
Impacts of Ballast Water Treatment Systems for
Use in California Waters (Jan 2009; PDF | 777
KB)
California State Lands Commission. Marine Facilities Division.
Produced for the California State Legislature.
The Coastal Ecosystems Protection Act of 2006 expanded the Marine Invasive Species Act of 2003 to more effectively address the threat of nonindigenous species introduction through ballast water discharge. The Act charged the California State Lands Commission to implement performance standards for the discharge of ballast water and to prepare a report assessing the efficacy, availability, and environmental impacts, including water quality, of currently available ballast water treatment technologies. This report summarizes the Commission’s conclusions on the advancement of ballast water treatment technology development and evaluation during 2008, discusses future plans of the Commission’s Marine Invasive Species Program regarding the implementation of California’s performance standards for the discharge of ballast water, and makes recommendations to the Legislature.

Biology and Control
of Aquatic Plants: A Best Management Practices
Handbook (2009)
Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Foundation.
This second edition has been specifically designed
with water resource managers, water management associations,
homeowners and customers and operators of aquatic
plant management companies and districts in mind.
Our goal in preparing this handbook is to provide
basic, scientifically sound information to assist
decision makers with their water management questions.

Identifying
Risk Factors to Stengthen Current Strategies
Aimed at Minimizing the Introduction of Quagga
and Zebra Mussels to Lake County, California (Jan 2009; PDF | 156
KB)
Lake County California Information Portal.
Prepared by: Lake County Fish and Wildlife Committee.
Risk assessment
proposal addresses the current threat
posed by both the quagga mussel (Dreissena
bugensis) and zebra mussel (D. polymorpha). This
report identifies a number of positive
actions already undertaken by the County of Lake
and encourages their continued
support. Secondly, this report attempts to prioritize
the various risk factors associated
with each Lake County waterbody with public access,
and provides organizational and
management guidance to direct preventative measures
against mussel introduction.
