Invasive Watch Program

The purpose of this program is to find and remove any aquatic invasive plant or animal before it spreads in Lake Sunapee.

The Invasive Watch Program consists of volunteers who are on the lookout for invasive plants or animals in the lake. They perform monthly surveys from June to September when swimming, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding (SUP), or snorkeling in the water.  These volunteers are the "eyes" of Lake Sunapee and the more volunteers we have to monitor the 30+ mile shoreline, the less likely an invasive species will become established. 

 

If you think you have seen a possible aquatic invasive species in Lake Sunapee, please contact LSPA at 603-763-2210 or fill out this report form from NHDES.
