Invasive Fish
MTRI has had several initiatives monitoring invasive fish in the SNBR (Chain Pickerel and Smallmouth Bass) since its inception. MTRI has placed signs at several public boat landings in the Mersey and Medway Rivers in an attempt to educate anglers of the dangers of introducing these species to local lakes. Recently MTRI has accumulated invasive fish records from various government and non-government agencies as well as local anglers and centralized them in a single database. Check out the map that was made from all of the reports we received.
