INVASIVE SPECIES
SURVEYS
White Water Associates provides an extensive range of
invasive species surveys. Noxious, non-native species have
invaded many high quality habitats and cause significant
impact to native flora and fauna. White Water staff is
trained and experienced in terrestrial and aquatic invasive
plant and animal identification. We understand the native
ecology of the ecosystems that are being invaded and are
experienced in preparation of invasive species
management plans and control techniques. Education of
the public is of crucial importance in stemming the spread
of invasive species to new habitats. Our mindset with
regard to invasive species is to (1) prevent the spread, (2)
detect new invasions early, (3) mitigate existing
infestations, (4) restore native habitats, and (5) continue
monitoring populations.
