Thank you for your interest in the FOCA Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention & Monitoring Program!

All the resources you will need are here, online.

Your Association’s involvement will help in the identification, reporting and prevention of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) in your waterbody and the information that you gather will help manage AIS across North America.
