Northeast Aquatic Nuisance Species Panel Holds Spring Meeting On May 22-26, the Northeast Aquatic Nuisance Species Panel (NEANS Panel) held its spring meeting on Cape Cod. The NEANS Panel met in Hyannis to discuss regional aquatic nuisance species management priorities, including plans to initiate a region-wide eradication effort for Hydrilla verticillata, an aquatic plant that has invaded freshwater lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout the country.

The NEANS Panel also hosted a meeting of the Federal Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Task Force, who toured beaches in Harwich laden with the invasive green algae Codium fragile. While in Harwich, the Task Forced met with Tom Leach, the town Harbormaster, to discuss local efforts to manage the noxious algae over the last ten years. The NEANS Panel and the ANS Task Force also visited tide pools in Sandwich that contained the invasive colonial tunicate Didemnum and a variety of other marine invaders. For more information about the NEANS Panel and its management activities, see http://www.neans.org/, or go to the ANS Task Force Website at http://www.anstaskforce.qov/.
