Aquatic Nuisance Species

Whirling disease, New Zealand mud snails, Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels are just a few of the destructive, aggressive invaders looking for a ride to a new lake, river or stream. Anglers, boaters and their equipment easily transport these pests. It takes only one mistake to infest a new area. Learn more about protecting Montana's waters and native aquatic species.


Discover Montana's Ecosystems.

“Discovering Montana’s Ecosystems” is a fun and exciting way for learners of all ages to Discover, Explore, Conserve and Learn about our natural landscapes! The site includes information about flora (plants) and fauna (fish & wildlife); FWP sites; People Doing Good Work; and activities that teach about food chains, classification, adaptations, and human impacts.
