Wisconsin, other Great Lakes states launch campaign to prevent spread of invasive species

     The states are teaming up on a new public service campaign to help carry a consistent message encouraging boaters and anglers to take steps to avoid accidentally spreading zebra mussels, spiny water fleas and other invasive aquatic species when they travel among states.
