Wisconsin Sea Grant, in coordination with Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha Counties, works to engage individuals, communities, water organizations, and local governments in monitoring and preventing aquatic invasive species.
Our Mission
To improve surface water quality through the detection, prevention, and monitoring of aquatic invasive species and lake water quality throughout Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha Counties.
Aquatic invasive species cause tremendous harm to our environment, our economy, and our health. Luckily, with a few simple steps you can protect our aquatic resources and ensure that these harmful species do not spread into new areas.
On August 9, 2025, over 175 people who love Wisconsin's waters came together for the 12th annual Aquatic Invasive Species Snapshot Day—a statewide search for aquatic invasive species. Milwaukee was one of 22 meeting stations to host an event.
