Risk associated with the likelihood of introduction and establishment of selected species within eight years. The predicted risk ranges from 0 to 1, where currently infested lakes are designated by a 1.

The model considers probability of spread through water connectivity, boater movement and habitat suitability.

Risk score describes the probability that a lake becomes infested within eight years.

Current infestation status designates a lake as infested (infestation confirmed) or uninfested (not known to be infested).

Network within boundaries defines whether lakes from different (not currently selected) counties or tribal boundaries will be included in the risk network visualization.

Show top 10 connections will show only the ten most highly connected pairs of lakes for the lake selected.

Location boundaries outline the counties or tribal boundaries within Minnesota and allows the user to filter the outputs to a county or tribal boundary of interest.

Location names will show the location (county or tribal boundary) name.

The location selection option allows the user to filter outputs to include only the county or tribal boundaries of interest. Please note that selecting multiple counties or tribal boundaries will increase the map loading time.

The County option allows the user to filter outputs to include only the county of interest.

This selection filters the outputs to include a specific management threshold determined by the percentage of boats that move from infested waterbodies to uninfested waterbodies and are inspected.

The use of a 60% default is for demonstration purposes and should be modified to fit local management initiatives.

The invasive species selected are all considered equal priority in the analysis.

A risky boat is defined as any watercraft moving from an infested lake to an uninfested lake.

For the current active county, only paired planning is available. For further information, click here.
