DON'T DUMP BAIT: Marine Bait Worms as a Potential Vector of Non-Native Species (2009; PDF | 353 KB)
University of Connecticut. Connecticut Sea Grant.
Researchers from the University of Connecticut and SUNY Purchase completed a study that reinforces concerns that live marine bait, such as bait worms, and more particularly, the seaweed or other material they are packed in, can serve as a vector or pathway by which organisms from one region can be introduced into another. The study was funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Long Island Sound Study, with additional support from Connecticut Sea Grant. For the complete study results, see the Long Island Sound Study: EPA Assistance Award Final Report (2009; PDF 183 KB).

UCONN, CT DEP Step Up Campaign To Find And Fight Mile-A-Minute Vine, An Invasive Plant (Jun 9, 2009)
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.
Scientists and staff at the University of Connecticut (UConn) and the CT Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) are teaming up to tackle the problematic invasive weed, mile-a-minute vine (Persicaria perfoliata). It is sometimes referred to as "the Kudzu of the North" due to its fast growth and climbing habits. UCONN and CT DEP are seeking the public's assistance in locating populations of mile-a-minute vine in the state, and to report any sightings of this highly invasive plant.

DEP and Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo Team Up for Exotic Animal Amnesty Day (May 29, 2009)
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.
An Exotic Animal Amnesty Day will be held Jul 25, 2009 to provide a convenient, safe and "no questions asked" way for people to bring in exotic animals they may own legally (but may no longer want) or in possible violation of state law, without a penalty. Officials do not want people to release such animals because non-native species can have an adverse impact on Connecticut's native plants and animal populations.
