Saginaw Bay Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area
The Saginaw Bay CISMA works to identify, treat, and manage infestations of invasive species while also providing education and outreach opportunities to the public. CISMA's are partnerships of federal, state, and local government agencies, tribes, individuals, and other groups that manage invasive species (or weeds) in a defined area. If you have questions regarding invasive species, contact information for the SB-CISMA is below.

Clean Boats Clean Waters Grant
​This year, the district received a grant from Michigan's Clean Boats Clean Waters program. The grant enabled us to install two boat and trailer cleaning stations, one at Frankenmuth Memorial Park and the other at Zilwaukee Riverfront Park. Boaters can use these stations to clean any aquatic material off their watercrafts and trailers to help stop the spread of invasive species.
​
In addition to the cleaning stations, we are hosting two "Canoeing for Conservation" events where we will lead local paddle trips and talk about ways to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. To learn more about these events, click below :
