    22. The story of starry

    When starry stonewort was first discovered in a Wisconsin lake, alarm set in—officials scrambled, residents feared the worst, and drastic measures were taken. But ten years later, an unexpected truth has emerged: sometimes, the best response to an invasive species is to do less, not more. In this episode, we unravel the science behind how humans react to new invaders, challenge fear-based messaging, and explore the power of waiting and watching. Looking for ways to tone down your language around aquatic invasive species? Here are some helpful phrases created by our guest Jeanne Scherer: Non-native species are known to have varying degrees of impacts depending on the specific waterbody they are found in, and in some cases are able to integrate into a waterbody to the extent where actual documented impacts are minimal and active management may not be necessary.  Reporting invasive species is a first step in containing their spread. Maintaining and restoring our waters and landscapes can reduce the impacts even when we don’t have other management options to an invasive species. Transcript available here.

    18. Moss balls and mystery seeds

    This week, we dive deep into two news stories that flew under the public’s radar. In the summer of 2020, individuals all over the country started receiving random packages of unsolicited and unidentified seeds. In the spring of 2021, pet stores around the country found that the moss balls on their shelves carried a notorious aquatic hitchhiker. On this episode, we talk to some of the people who devoted months of their lives to dealing with these first-of-their-kind international crises. Special thanks to our guests Christopher Deegan, Wesley Daniels, Amy Kretlow and Amy McGovern. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/SightingReport.aspx (Report a nonindigenous aquatic species) - https://nas.er.usgs.gov/SightingReport.aspx https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/default.aspx (Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database - USGS) - https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/default.aspx https://www.fws.gov/fisheries/ANS/zebra-mussel-disposal.html (Destroy!
