Prevent Invasive Species When Fishing This Season!

It might be winter, but it is is always good to think about how to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Before you leave the boat landing, it is important to remember to take these steps: 


  • INSPECT boats, trailers, and equipment.
  • REMOVE all attached aquatic plants and animals.
  • DRAIN all water from boats, vehicles, and equipment.
  • NEVER MOVE plants or live fish away from a waterbody.

Door County Invasive Species Strategy 2018-2023

An Invasive Species strategic plan was created by DCIST and the Door County SWCD and approved by the Door County Land Conservation Committee (LCC) in September 2018.  The Plan outlines initiatives, strategies, and actions to achieve the mission of DCIST over the next five years.


Our 2024-2029 Strategic Plan is now available for public comment. Your feedback will help us create a roadmap for the future of DCIST. Please email dcist1@gmail.com with any feedback.
