This position will work with an innovative team on ecologically diverse aquatic lands and help protect critical habitats from invasive species. Much of the fieldwork will be over water or along shorelines. The AIS program is guided by DNR\u2019s Strategic Plan, RCW 17.10, and RCW 17.26 for noxious weed and invasive species control, and RCW 79.105.030 \u2013 Aquatic Lands Management Guidelines to accomplish the following: Preserve the value and ecological integrity of state-owned aquatic lands by eliminating small-scale noxious weed infestations through Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR). \u00a0Eradicate or reduce large-scale infestations to a scale that no longer threatens fish and wildlife habitat, native plants, agriculture, industry, and other ecological and human values. Restore aquatic lands where possible. \u00a0Increase public awareness about sustainable natural resource management and the value of aquatic lands to Washington\u2019s communities and economy. \u00a0Build partnerships within DNR and with individuals, organizations, and governments to leverage efforts to achieve a shared vision of healthy habitats for all living creatures, including humans.<br \/><br \/>It is anticipated to be a 1-year project, subject to available funding.
