The ANSRP provides USACE managers and operational personnel with innovative technologies regarding risk assessment, prevention strategies, species history/ecological data, and cost-effective, environmentally sound options for managing aquatic nuisance species.
Current research efforts target prevention methodologies such as evaluating dispersal barrier techniques for immobilizing Asian carp and other invasive fish; strategies for mitigating aquatic nuisance species impacts; new control strategies for managing invasive zebra and quagga mussels and harmful algae and cyanobacteria; and methods that reduce invasive species impacts to threatened and endangered species and restore natural habitats.
