Aquatic Invasive Species
To address the problems caused by invasive species, the 1991 Minnesota Legislature directed the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish the Invasive Species Program. The program is designed to implement actions to prevent the spread of invasive species and manage invasive aquatic plants and wild animals (Minnesota Statutes 84D).
The three primary goals of the DNR Invasive Species Program are to:
1. Prevent the introduction of new invasive species into Minnesota.
2. Prevent the spread of invasive species within Minnesota.
3. Reduce the impacts caused by invasive species to Minnesota’s ecology, society, and economy.
Subd. 9(c) Aquatic Invasive Species. $2,177,000 the first year and $2,513,000 the second year are from the trust fund to the commissioner of natural resources to accelerate aquatic invasive species programs, including the development and implementation of best management practices for public water access facilities to implement aquatic invasive species prevention strategies including activities directly related to and necessary for this appropriation.
The ENRTF appropriation was used with other funding sources in FY2012, FY2013, and FY2014 to: (1) conduct watercraft inspections at public water access sites (2) develop and implement BMPs at water access sights, (3) provide technical assistance to LGUs and local citizens related to AIS public awareness, rapid response to new infestations, and containment activities, (4) coordinate regionally on invasive carp prevention, (5) develop aquatic invasive species documentary.

ENRTF funds were supplemented by approximately $6 million annually in funding primarily from the Invasive Species Account, the General Fund, and federal funds.
