Join Water Cooler Talk: Aquatic Invasive Species in Pennsylvania to hear from the experts about Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). AIS are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Effecting both local ecology and economy, these small critters can have big impacts to our watersheds. This program will teach what characteristics make a species invasive, how they move from place to place, and how you can prevent their spread.
