Ontario Federation of Anglers

and www.invadingspecies.com to
obtain information and report sightings of
kudzu vine and other invasive species.

Canadian
Scientists Uncover Alarming Invasion of
Round Goby into Great Lakes Tributaries:
Impact on Endangered Fishes Likely to Be
Serious (Aug 11, 2009)
University of
Toronto.
A team of scientists from the University
of Toronto, the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and the University of Guelph has
identified a drastic invasion of round
goby into many Great Lakes tributaries.
A number of the affected areas are known
as "species-at-risk" hot spots
and the invasion poses many potential threats
for native species of fish and mussels. The
results of the study are published in Biological
Invasions. The public can assist by
reporting the capture of round goby to the
Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters Invading
Species Awareness Program.

Federal
Government Announces National "Don’t
Move Firewood" Campaign (Jun 13, 2008)
Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The Government
of Canada is launching a "Don't Move Firewood"
campaign to limit the spread of invasive
species by vacationing Canadians this summer.
"Most people don't know that moving a simple
piece of firewood could threaten and destroy
thousands, even millions, of trees. We all
have a responsibility to protect Canada's
beautiful forests so the message is clear:
buy wood locally, burn it on site and never
bring it back home."
