- This $100,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 15.662) will continue control efforts for four invasive plant species - purple loosestrife, Eurasian watermilfoil, narrow leaf cattail, and European frog bit - on tribally significant coastal wetlands of the St. Marys River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In addition to invasive plant removal, the project will lead native plant restoration efforts...
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (MDEGLE) received a $440,000 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) to implement a multi-year project aimed at reducing the spread and negative impacts of the invasive species European frog-bit (EFB) in Michigan. The project activities include training regional Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) staff on EFB identification, detection, and control, developing EFB surveillance and control workplans, conducting early detection monitoring at 20 or more sites, and controlling EFB across at least 280 acres. Subrecipients will develop standardized workplan templates and implement field-based EFB monitoring and herbicide application. The expected outcomes are increased EFB surveillance and control efforts across Michigan to reduce EFB populations and slow its spread to new locations, ultimately benefiting residents of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and improving the Great Lakes ecosystem.
