SUMMARY:Genetic Options for Controlling Invasive Carp Species - May 6
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImprovements in our ability to re-write the genetics of living organisms that have been developed in the past few decades are rapidly accelerating the ability of biotechnology to address problems in medicine\, agriculture\, and the environment. In the area of pest and invasive species control\, innovative new genetic methods are already making an impact for organisms such as mosquitoes. Our group has been developing and refining genetic methods to control aquatic invasive species. In this webinar\, I will introduce the diversity of genetic pest control methods that exist\, share our current progress in translating these into common carp\, and forecast what still needs to be done before these approaches can impact local populations of invasive fish. \nThis free webinar is from noon to 1 pm on February 19. Register here.

SUMMARY:Genetic options for controlling  invasive carp species
DESCRIPTION:Improvements in our ability to re-write the genetics of living organisms that have been developed in the past few decades are rapidly accelerating the ability of biotechnology to address problems in medicine\, agriculture\, and the environment. In the area of pest and invasive species control\, innovative new genetic methods are already making an impact for organisms such as mosquitoes. Our group has been developing and refining genetic methods to control aquatic invasive species. \nMichael Smanski\, Professor\, Department of Biochemistry\, Molecular Biology\, and Biophysics and Research Fellow at MAISRC will fill us in on this interesting research. \nThis webinar will introduce the diversity of genetic pest control methods that exist\, share our current progress in translating these into common carp\, and forecast what still needs to be done before these approaches can impact local populations of invasive fish. \nThe free webinar is on May 6 at 1 pm CT.

SUMMARY:Lake Property Owners Stewardship Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join other lake property owners on Saturday\, May 16\, 2026 in a one-half day symposium\, at Thumper Pond Resort\, 300 Thumper Lodge Rd.\, Ottertail\, MN 56571. \nThe Otter Tail County AIS Task Force and Otter Tail County Coalition of Lake Associations have released the lineup for the 2026 Lake Property Owners Lake Stewardship Symposium. The Symposium will begin with a free hot breakfast for attendees at 8:00 a.m. followed by presentations from scientists\, county government officials and lake-oriented organization leaders. The event will conclude by 1:00 p.m. \nSymposium Lineup: \n\nNick Phelps– Professor and Department Head\, University of Minnesota\nChris LeClair– Director of Land & Resource\, Otter Tail County\nJeff Forester– Executive Director\, Minnesota Lakes & Rivers Advocates\nPete Guck– Riparian Conservation Specialist\, East Otter Tail SWCD\n\nMany organizations and agencies will be hosting table displays for consultation and dissemination of relevant lake property owner information. To reserve a table at the event contact John Kruse\, OTC COLA Administrative Assistant. \nThere is no cost for the event including the free hot breakfast. Registrations for the event are greatly appreciated to assist in capacity planning. \nTo Register: \nclick HERE \nOR \nGo to www.otccola.org
