Introduction and Purpose
The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a mission to preserve, enhance, restore and conserve Vermont’s natural resources, and protect human health for the benefit of this and future generations. The DECs Watershed Management Division is responsible for protecting, maintaining, enhancing and restoring the quality of Vermont’s surface water resources. It has set clear goals to support both healthy ecosystems and public uses in and on Vermont’s 800 lakes and ponds, 23,000 miles of rivers and streams and 300,000 acres of wetlands.
DEC is seeking proposals for a Pilot Study: Invasive Species Detection in Northeast Regional Lakes using Environmental DNA (eDNA). The pilot study will develop and conduct an eDNA sampling program for target invasive species in northeastern lakes. This project will provide proof of concept, and initial eDNA data for two (2) invasive invertebrates; Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) and Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). Both species are present in some areas of the region and are consider at risk of invading currently uninfected lakes. Improved early detection methods will support timely response and management actions. Up to $10,000 is available for May 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
