A.24.4. CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIONS 
(None reported.) 
A.24.5. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION USED 
• Technology to deter the spread of Asian carp is being implemented. 
• Funding is being used to construct dispersal barriers for Asian carp. 
• Weekly copper sulfate treatments to kill zebra mussels are being implemented. 
• Public awareness and watercraft inspections are being conducted. 
• Technical assistance for curlyleaf pondweed management projects is being offered. 
A.24.6. RESEARCH NEEDS 
• Habitat recovery issues after eradication of an invasive species need to be examined. 
• A national framework or law on invasive species to deal with intrastate transportation, 
transportation on public roads, and interstate transpiration is needed. The Lacey Act is 
not sufficient. 
• States should be sharing more information on risk assessments. 
• Information on effective herbicide and biocontrol methods is needed. 
• A more comprehensive noxious weed list and a list of injurious wildlife need to be 
developed, as well as a list of federal experts that states can contact if they have questions 
on a particular issue. 
• More studies on the effects of EWM need to be conducted. 
• More information on long-term impacts of invasive species on adjacent wildlife 
communities is needed.
