As part of Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week, MI Environment is highlighting a story map that explains how the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) monitors and manages aquatic invasive species throughout the state.

The story map includes:
- A video that explains the basics of invasive species
- Information on the importance of early detection and response, when prevention fails
- An Aquatic Invasive species monitoring map that shows where EGLE staff have conducted early detection surveys on inland lakes, searching for watch list aquatic plants
- A link to the State’s official invasive species website
- Information on when and how to report aquatic invasive species
