Aquatic invasive species are animals and plants not native to Kansas that can threaten lake and river ecology, harm native or desirable species, and interfere with our economy. They often hitchhike with unsuspecting people. They can:

• Diminish food supplies and degrade habitat for other species;
• Reduce numbers and variety of desirable fish;
• Reduce fishing and other recreational opportunities;
• Lower property values and decrease quality of municipal water sources;
• Foul water lines, clog intakes, burn out pumps, damage power generating facilities, and decrease water system efficiency; and
• Increase the risk of flooding due to overcrowded biomass and clogging of lake outlets
