Invasive Species Workshop (Monday, March 18)

NW Marine Trade Association in partnership with Washington state's Fish and Wildlife are hosting an invasive species seminar in Tacoma on March 18 from 9 am - 11 am.

Location: Flagship Maritime Center

Sgt Carl Klein, the state's foremost invasive species expert, will be leading the training and discussion about what we need to know and how we can serve as the first responders if (and sadly when) we come into contact with invasives. These trainings get me fired up because it's a pro-active way to get our experts (you) the tools you need to potentially save Puget Sound.

Specifically, what you can expect to learn:
- Learn more about invasive species and how to identify them on watercraft and related equipment.
- Various invasive species that pose the highest risk to Washington.
- Potential impacts these species have had when introduced in other areas.
- Information on state and federal laws pertaining to Invasive Species.
- Your role in preventing these types of species from being introduced into Washington waterways.

Cost: Free

NMTA is providing breakfast goodies, Sgt Klein is providing the knowledge and Skip Anderson from Flagship Maritime is providing the space. Thank you, Sgt Klein and Skip.
