 Regional Case Studies

The introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) poses a threat to lakes, rivers, and other water bodies throughout North America. One pathway that has been shown to contribute to AIS spread is seaplanes. These case studies illustrate the role seaplanes can play in the spread of AIS and the negative impacts AIS establishment can have on the environment as well as seaplane safety and operations. These case studies also illustrate the important role seaplane pilots can play to prevent the spread of AIS. For a complete packet of the case studies, click here.

Two sets of best practices were drafted and vetted with seaplane pilots - these two sets of practices, one for Alaskan seaplane pilots, and the other for seaplane pilots in the lower 48, are intended to reduce the spread of AIS.
