Wild pigs and Asian carp are seriously concerning. Clear guidance should be given to landowners to shoot and kill pigs without exceptions if sighted to prevent the spread of diseases and crop damage.

Phragmites is recognized as the worst invasive species in Canada, and is growing out of control, reducing biodiversity all over our province. Zebra mussels are having a huge economic impact also in Ontario. Giant hogweed and wild parsnips are also very prevalent in Ontario. Read more

To help slow the spread of invasive species, anglers need to stop harvesting their own bait. Start promoting local bait shops, they are HACCP certified, have rules and regulations to follow and most care about protecting our resource for generations to come. Buy local bait! Read more

We appreciate the process of identifying invasive species as a means of prioritizing funds. We hope to see the Japanese knot weed eliminated as it seems to render the land useless if you're actually successful in getting rid if it. Read more

I do agree that the Invasive Species act should be reviewed for species and carrier. Furthermore, it should be reviewed in conjunction with angling behavior and regulation. Read more

Ragweed, Hogweed, Wild Parsnip are dangerous to people and should be on this list too. English Ivy and Virginia Creeper should be on the list for killing trees. I am in North Bay and most of the list is not in my area. Phragmites are here and invading natural habitats. Read more
