INVASIVE ALERT!!
The invasive alga "Didymo" also known as "rock snot" has been found in
the White River, the Connecticut River, and in the Batten Kill River.
Didymosphenia geminata, as the alga is known scientifically, moves from
river to river on the clothing and equipment of people who come in
contact with even microscopic quantities. Please help minimize the
spread of this invasive alga by cleaning all fishing and boating gear
thoroughly. Visit the
EPA Didymo website. |
