On the front lines, that includes reporting when they capture or spot an invasive, monitoring invasives already present and participating in (or even leading) initiatives to remove invasives. Lawrence and Jenna also discuss how hnglers can also support invasive species research, provide input to officials responsible for invasive species policy and regulations and help spread awareness to fellow anglers.
