An invasive plant called purple loosestrife (native to Europe) has been found growing wild in nearby Anchorage for the first time. We are looking for proposals that educate boaters about practical habits to prevent the further spread of invasive species, for example, zebra mussels in the central states, purple loosestrife in the Great Lakes or even the infamous snake-head in Maryland.
