The cutest little zebra mussel around, a Parks Canada watercraft inspector, and a fisherman in a bit of trouble. This year’s costumes inspired by our many visits to @ParksCanada and @MBGovParks! #cleandraindry #invasivespecies #halloween2021

Manitobans Reminded to Comply with Aquatic Invasive Species Requirements https://t.co/UDpconQClW

I am tremendously sad & angry that Lake Manitoba has #ZebraMussels 😔. The spread of AIS is preventable! To #StopAIS - CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY which requires no special equipment other than your 🖐s. If leaving Lk MB or an AIS Control Zone - DECONTAMINATE.

Invasive species, such as aquatic plants and invertebrates can be easily transferred between waterbodies by hitching a ride on your watercraft, trailer, and other equipment.
