For more than a decade the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has prioritized keeping aquatic invasive species (AIS) out of the state’s lakes and reservoirs. But, as the threat of zebra mussels and quagga mussels grow, Game and Fish is taking extra precautions to prepare.

Game and Fish received public comments until May 16, 2021 on the proposed plans for lakes and reservoirs throughout the state. See also: AIS Rapid Response Plans
