They look for anything different or unusual that might be an invasive plant and report it. Stewards are the early detection system to prevent invasive aquatic plant infestations. At least one dedicated patrol of the shoreline is needed each season, and a brief monthly summary on any shoreline patrols, any sightings, and any concerns. Stewards are outfitted with a Patrol Kit to aid in the examination and identification of plants on the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589725833992-499U4AEBAH82U434UM9U/JRundle.lilypads.DSC_0310.jpg Stewards - Aquatic plants are easy to identify Learn which ones are beneficial natives and which are dangerous invasives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589742069727-8AAXARVBB9DOE6Q7TK6L/JRundle.GreatBlueHeronDSC_9641.jpg Stewards https://www.lippc.org/reports-no daily 0.75 2020-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589746325761-6O18VWPZRXQO0S51OVS9/DSC_4917.jpg Reports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589748187510-HS1VE4PPDLSA2V1ZZ9EP/DSC_4703.jpg Reports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589746418121-KW57MQZP499XF564EQM3/DSC_8295.jpg Reports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589762893084-9S1Z4B0QOWUQ6J9XXGA9/Quick-Key-2018LSM-Final-1-1.png Reports - The Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program has created an easy-to-use Quick Guide for identifying invasive plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1589746503909-ZG4DQE0EZJO1CS8A0402/DSC_6984.jpg Reports https://www.lippc.org/education daily 0.75 2020-06-07 https://www.lippc.org/lake-surveys daily 0.75 2020-06-07 https://www.lippc.org/surveyors daily 0.75 2020-06-07 https://www.lippc.org/rapid-response-plan daily 0.75 2020-06-07 https://www.lippc.org/chinese-mystery-snails-threat daily 0.75 2020-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1591559447675-BJBQ3NIX4KUW7W5RPYDJ/CMS+Description.jpg Chinese Mystery Snails threat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1591559531321-XJNBCH3GOG3MSX6VRPCY/CMS+Description+21.jpg Chinese Mystery Snails threat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/1593004440954-9EFS396BFYXORPEDBKRD/chinese+Mystery+snail+HW+dock+2020.06.png Chinese Mystery Snails threat Chinese Mystery Snail found in Kezar’s Lower Bay, June 2020 https://www.lippc.org/new-page daily 0.75 2021-07-29 https://www.lippc.org/take-action daily 0.75 2021-07-29 https://www.lippc.org/in-the-news daily 0.75 2022-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/3c15fcf8-f347-4371-8680-1e843b31c8d1/Screen+Shot+2022-07-27+at+9.48.27+AM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/2ff55302-f247-4e50-857c-a8b1e29efd0b/Screen+Shot+2022-07-13+at+9.08.17+AM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/93d1be68-d0b2-4db7-a172-df3885bbbf2b/2021.09.09+Bridgton+News-Invasive+Nabbed+photo.jpg In the News - Invasive fanwort (Cabomba carolinia) nabbed by Courtesy Boat Inspector — 2021.09.09 Bridgton News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/583263e3-df92-45ba-a57c-cc304cc1bb3b/2021.09.02+Bridgton+News-LEA+on+Water+Fight+photo.jpg In the News - Lakes Environmental CBI Coordinator: “There are other invasive species encroaching our waters…” — 2021.09.02 Bridgton News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/8f98f64c-89a1-4089-aa19-0b9cd8ae166b/European+Naiad.jpg In the News - I hear people say “I now what milfoil looks like, so I won’t spread it, but many don’t know… It’s not just milfoil — Bridgton News 2021.08.19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7d101f0985506e06e915db/df467907-349b-4551-82f6-a5ad26c4f4e1/11.26.2020+Bridgton+News-Cushman+Pond+photo.jpg In the News - Bait fishing suspected in milfoil infestation.
