Invasive Species
Aquatic Invasive Species Program
The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) co-ordinates and manages aquatic invasive species programs and projects to prevent the introduction and spread of these non-native species into Ontario waters.
The Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) is a non-profit, multi-agency organization founded in April 2007 by a group of individuals and organizational representatives who saw the need for a coordinated provincial response to the growing threat of invasive plants. The OIPC is currently housed within the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, a non-profit, charitable organization providing the OIPC with administrative support and office space in its initial stages.
