AIS Explorer

MAISRC has developed an online dashboard—AIS Explorer—that both forecasts the introduction risk of aquatic invasive species to individual waterbodies and provides decision-making support for optimizing watercraft inspection efficacy.

Watch a short video interviewing the dashboard's developing researchers and then hop over to AIS Explorer to view risk models of lakes near you: www.AISexplorer.umn.edu

In a year full of unknown, MAISRC pushed forward on our journey to AIS solutions. Explore some of this year's highlights in our 2020 Research Report. 

2021 Request for Research Proposals

We are seeking proposals for research studies that will advance control and management, prevent establishment and spread, assess risk, and allow for early detection of aquatic invasive species in Minnesota. Pre-proposals are due by March 1, 2021.

Thanks to our funders

We're grateful for the support of our funders, especially the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources.
