Maintaining these high-quality habitats requires monitoring and effectively managing invasive species. This episode's discussion will focus primarily on our efforts to better understand and manage the common carp population at Emiquon to reduce negative impacts on water quality and vegetative habitats.Resources mentioned: Emiquon PreserveRamsar sitesEmiquon Preserve Monitoring at Forbes Biological StationShare your own Everyday ObservationWas there something about this topic we didn’t cover?
