This week (February 20-26, 2023) is National Invasive Species Awareness Week (NISAW), an international event raising awareness about invasive species, like the hammerhead worm (bipalium) pictured here.
In Florida, managing invasive species cost an estimated $100 million annually and $21 billion (yep, with a "B") nationwide. In fact, in a recent study by Auburn University, the US has spent $1.22 trillion dealing with the problem since 1960.
Join us tomorrow on Twitch as we discuss invasive species (and the hammerhead worm) with our interns. Check out Tuesdays live stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/chipco_preserve and follow us on Twitch to join in the chat!
