Feedback Sought on Proposed Invasive Species Regulations (Jan 3, 2012)
Texas Parks and Wildlife.
TPWD will be hosting two scoping meetings (Jan 16 and 17) in North Texas this month to get public feedback on a pair of proposed new regulations aimed at preventing the spread of exotic aquatic species in the state. Although possession and transport of zebra mussels and Asian carp are already prohibited, TPWD biologists believe additional regulations are needed to prevent the accidental or incidental movement of these species from one waterbody to another.
