The 50-minute video is an Arizona Game and Fish Department educational presentation about aquatic invasive species in Arizona.
The program was open to the public and webcast on Jan. 7, 2010 from the Arizona Game and Fish Department headquarters at 5000 W. Carefree Highway in Phoenix.
Tom McMahon, invasive species coordinator, discussed the proposed regulations (known as director's orders) authorized by aquatic invasive species legislation passed last year by the Arizona Legislature. The regulations will give Game and Fish the authority to identify those species considered aquatic invasives, identify the waters that contain them, and establish mandatory conditions for moving boats from those waters. He also covered steps boaters and anglers can take to prevent the spread of aquatic invasives, and how the public can provide input on the proposed regulations.
