Comprehensive Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention

Description

The Crow Wing Lakes and Rivers Alliance designed and installed one billboard. They developed a series of five radio ads with unique messages from each of their project partners. Ads played on a family of five Brainerd area radio stations that included four FM stations covering a broad spectrum of audiences from country music to oldies to easy listening to classic rock and one AM station covering sports. They organized a classroom training for Sheriff's Department Water Patrol staff by DNR Invasive Species staff. They developed and distibuted a 5 ½ x 8 ½ quick reference card targeted for use by Water Patrol staff in their routine encounters with the boating public. They conducted an inventory of private boat access points on member association lakes. They adapted and printed 10,000 copies of an aquatic invasive species informational card.
