361 - The Invasive Species Centre - Celebrating and Reflecting on 15 years of Aquatic work in Canada with Colin Cassin and Rebecca D'Orazio

On this weeks episode Brendan is joined by Colin Cassin, Executive Director, and Rebecca D'Orazio, Aquatic Invasive Species Team Lead from the Invasive Species Centre in Sault St. Marie!  This NGO has been working on aquatic and terrestrial invasive species issues in Ontario and Canada, and they're celebrating 15 years of doing the good work! Colin and Rebecca chat with Brendan on how ISC's programs and delivery have evolved over the last 15 years, and how this work helps protect Canada's fisheries.   Colin and Rebecca reflect on how municipalities in Canada often bare the brunt of the impacts of invasive species, what aquatic species are their focus, and how the same problems and stories rear up no matter if you're working on land or in water!    You can find ISC and all their awesome work here: https://www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/  Their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invasivespeciescentre/  Get in touch with us!
