The MiCorps Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Detection Blitz is a statewide community science event aimed at identifying and documenting aquatic invasive species, such as zebra mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil, or anything else you suspect might be invasive in Michigan’s lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Join this webinar to learn how to participate as an individual or partner with us as an organization!
Organized by the Michigan Clean Water Corps (MiCorps), this Blitz welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds, whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or a first-time observer. Between June 28 and July 6, simply snap photos of potential invasive species and upload them to the MiCorps project on the free iNaturalist app. By working together in this coordinated effort, we can track the spread of AIS, strengthen early detection strategies, and inform better management decisions. Whether you’re on the water for the July 4th holiday or just enjoying a local spot, every observation counts!
Support for this project is provided by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy through funds collected through the sale of the Michigan Water Quality license plate.
