New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Environment DEC.
DEC recently announced that didymo, a destructive invasive species of aquatic algae, has been confirmed in the Esopus Creek in Ulster County. This is the first known presence of this algae, also called "rock snot," in the Esopus and the third confirmed location in New York State. The Esopus is a popular recreational waterway for fishing, kayaking and tubing, and is a drinking water source for New York City.

DEC and Partners to Track Possible Spread of Invasive Beetle: Emerald Ash Borer Traps Are Being Deployed Throughout the State (Jun 5, 2009)
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), along with other federal and state agencies, is setting baited traps in ash trees across upstate New York in an effort to search for possible infestations of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), a tree-killing beetle. It has been documented that a main route that enables this insect, as well as other invasive species, to spread is from moving firewood from one place to another. In 2008, New York adopted firewood regulations that ban untreated firewood from entering the state and restricts intrastate movement of untreated firewood to no more than a 50-mile radius from its source.
