摘要

Invasive species in our nation's waterways is a concern to many, with a variety of options to stem their spread ranging from the radical to reasonable. On January 4, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), in consultation with other federal agencies, Native American tribes, state agencies, local governments and non-governmental organizations, released the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Inter-basin Study (GLMRIS). Its purpose is to "evaluate a range of options and technologies (collectively known as'ANS controls') to prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River by aquatic pathways. In this context, the term 'prevent' includes the reduction of risk to the maximum extent possible, because it may not be technologically feasible to achieve an absolute solution. As part of this study, USACE will conduct a detailed analysis of various ANS controls, including hydrologic separation."
