Kansas Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan
Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan 1.70 MB
The Kansas ANS management plan was approved by Governor Kathleen Sebelius on April 26, 2005. The coordinated efforts contained within this plan are designed to protect residents of Kansas and the state's aquatic resources from the multitude of potential losses associated with ANS plants and animals. This management plan focuses on preventing the accidental introductions of new ANS, limiting the spread of existing ANS, and controlling or eradicating ANS where environmentally and economically feasible. The intentional introduction of non-indigenous species for aquaculture, commercial, or recreational purposes is addressed to insure that these beneficial introductions do not result in accidental ANS introductions, and to improve information sharing among those agencies responsible for regulation of intentional introductions. Please read the plan and send any comments using the feedback form.
