Variable Milfoil Control & Removal; To-Date in 2008 Danforth Pond, Freedom Had Spent Approx The New Hampshire Rivers Council is committed to the conservation and ecologically sound management of New Hampshire's rivers, watersheds and related natural resources. www.nhrivers.org 2012 River Runners Program: Introduction and Invasive Aquatic Plant Identification Exercise Presented by Laurie G. Callahan, Aquatic Biologist Funding provided by NH Dept. of Env. Services – Exotic Species Prevention Grant and the McIninch Foundation Water Conference Workshop Goals • Introduce NHRC’s 2012 River Runners program • Provide basic info about didymo & 14 prohibited invasive aquatic plant (IAP) species in NH • Discuss elements of didymo (“rock snot”) & IAP early detection & spread prevention • Use the Quick Key to learn basic IAP identification techniques & when to suspect you have found an IAP • Generate interest among individuals & groups to participate in the River Runners program River Runners 2008-2010 Interns carried- out project activities – didymo & IAP surveillance, reporting and outreach River Runners 2012 No project interns involved Will hold educational outreach workshops to build volunteer teams & network Workshops to be held in 4-5 regions of NH Local & regional groups, individuals as participants Focus on didymo and IAP EARLY DETECTION & SPREAD PREVENTION Native Nuisance Exotic or Alien Invasive Slide from Leslie Matthews, VT DEC USDA National Invasive Species Information Center An "invasive species" is defined as a species that is 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. (Executive Order 13112). Invasive species can be plants, animals, and other organisms (e.g., microbes). Human actions are the primary means of invasive species introductions. Ecologic Impacts • Grow and spread rapidly • Out-compete native plants (an additional concern if natives are rare, threatened or endangered) • Threaten biodiversity • Can alter natural food webs & habitats • Can impact water quality Economic Impacts Property value decrease estimated at approx. 15% for property adjacent to infested water bodies. Projected 7-19% by region of NH for drop in sales, income and jobs lost due to perceived decrease in water quality or purity of recreational waters. (Algae blooms and IAP infestations are included.) Significant impacts experienced by local communities – especially when local economy is dependent on recreation related to a water body. Millions of dollars spent on IAS control in New England; approx. $500,000 spent annually managing water chestnut on Lake Champlain in VT & NY; in 2008 $64,0000 spent by Little Sebago Lake Assoc. in ME on variable milfoil control & removal; to-date in 2008 Danforth Pond, Freedom had spent approx. $90,000 on variable milfoil management. IAP Can Interfere With Recreational Uses and Aesthetic Enjoyment Imagine Swimming, Boating or Fishing Under These Conditions! Photo from VT Department of Environmental Conservation Photo by L. Callahan What are the potential economic impacts in New Hampshire? ….in 2012 Free workshops in 4-5 NH regions Regional perspective for workshops; PowerPoint presentation with plant ID session and a local field site visit Local or regional groups as participants Build volunteer network Focus on EARLY DETECTION, with documentation, & SPREAD PREVENTION General Approach Toward IAP Awareness, Spread Prevention and Management Early detection Spread prevention strategies & education Control – rapid response & long term management strategies Detecting the Presence of IAS is a Crucial Element: • Documentation of presence is important to track their spread or to initiate spread prevention or management strategy. • Important to document that IAS are NOT present. • Awareness of presence may decrease the chances that it will spread - locally or to another location. • Important for controlling their impact on vulnerable habitats and native species • The earlier an IAS population is found the less costly it will be to control - ecological, monetary & effort How do aquatic invaders spread? Fragmentation of certain plants are a major way they are spread – usually through human activity and also via transport by water currents. See the NH DES “Attention Boaters” brochure for the map of IAP and didymo locations In 2007,the first occurrences of the invasive alga “didymo”, or rock snot, were found in the northeast - along the northern reaches of the CT River (VT/NH). Since then, it has been found to occur in several other rivers in the northeast and New England. WARNING The invasive algae “didymo” is present in this river STOP ROCK SNOT After leaving this water: CHECK - Remove all visible clumps of algae and plant material from fishing gear, waders, clothing, water shoes and sandals, canoes and kayaks, and anything else that has been in the water. CLEAN – Scrub thoroughly then soak all items for at least ten minutes in very hot water with LOTS of soap. Felt sole waders need 30 minutes!!!!

Didymo – near Stony Brook, a tributary of the White River in VT Didymo – CT River Pittsburg, NH It may look SLIMY, but is described as feeling like “felt”, “cottony” or having the texture of Photos from Amy Smagula NH DES a “wet cotton ball” or “wet wool”. Didymo is a type of single-celled diatom algae. Diatoms have silica cell walls. The stalk of Didymo can be many times larger than the cell. The negative impacts of Didymo “blooms” are generally due to the massive production of stalk material. This is Rock Snot in a New Zealand river. What are Didymo’s environmental impacts? Didymo can change: Stream Macroinvertebrates. The population will likely change to invertebrate communities more tolerant of habitat degradation. The stream bottom. The stalks trap fine sediment making a thick mat. This reduces habitat for native algae and the ability for macroinvertebrates to move and feed. It can then effect fish that consume the macroinvertebrates. The stream appearance. The long stalks are unappealing. When the stalks die they can look like toilet paper, giving the appearance of a sewage leak. Identifying Didymo in the field Field Conditions: Lower nutrients Rivers or streams with stable bottoms Water flow is generally moderate to such as cobble or rock moderately fast. Water conditions are usually clear, cool (optimal temperature is about 600F) High light penetration CHECK YES, it may be Didymo NO, it’s probably THE: not Didymo Location Mostly clear flowing Deep silty areas water with rocky bottom. with no rocks or plants, highly colored water.

  • Appendices 32 ______
    APPENDIX 11.7: Information from Expert Interviews In September – December, 2003, as part of its ecoregional planning process, TNC organized a series of six meetings of regional experts to discuss the current status and historical aspects of Maine’s aquatic ecosystems. In conjunction with other databases, the information obtained during these meetings is being used to identify streams / rivers and lakes that appear to be of particular interest from the perspective of conservation planning. This Appendix summarizes much of the information obtained during the expert meetings; it also integrates additional information obtained by MABP via interviews with fisheries biologists, including the early phase of an “anecdotal information-capture” project started in 2004 by MDIFW and MABP. It is important to note that this Appendix is not intended as a comprehensive review of aquatic ecosystems in Maine and should be viewed as a supplement to other data presented in this report. Information in this Appendix inevitably reflects the areas of expertise of the individuals participating in the meetings, incorporating much “anecdotal”-type information that is often not adequately captured in traditional databases. The information content also reflects the need to cover large areas of the state in a limited amount of meeting time. Furthermore, the TNC meetings focused on medium-sized stream watersheds, in the range 30 – 1000 sq. miles. Smaller watersheds were not explicitly discussed during the meetings (although it is recognized that these are “embedded” in the larger watersheds). Large river watersheds (>1000 sq. miles) were also excluded from the discussion since these are automatically incorporated into the series of “focus” watersheds developed by TNC.
