Western Provinces Announce Inter-Provincial Agreement to Battle Invasive Aquatic Species

Released on June 6, 2016

The Government of Saskatchewan has signed an agreement with Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and the Yukon Territory to form a co-ordinated regional defence against invasive species, with an initial focus on aquatic invasive species.

Aquatic invasive species, specifically zebra and quagga mussels, pose a major threat to the health of western Canada's aquatic ecosystems and, if established, have the potential to severely impact aquatic habitats, recreational and commercial fisheries, valuable recreational resources and water-related infrastructure.

“Preventing the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species requires the collaboration and co-operation amongst many agencies, organizations and jurisdictions,” Environment Minister Herb Cox said.  “As part of Canadian Environment Week, we are pleased to announce this agreement as one of the many actions being taken to ensure a healthy environment for all to enjoy.”

The agreement increases co-ordination between jurisdictions in western Canada, resulting in shared resources and planning related to both prevention and response to aquatic invasive species.

Collaborative activities will include:
  • planning of watercraft inspection stations to maximize efforts on shared highway crossings; and
  • increased ability to connect with resources from other provinces, such as people and expertise, to assist in a rapid response in the event of any mussel detections.

Saskatchewan supports several other initiatives that raise awareness about aquatic invasive species and the importance of prevention through the CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY Your Boat awareness program.

More information about fishing and aquatic invasive species can be found in the Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide, and online at www.saskatchewan.ca/environment.
