Fifty-one biologists from three states united at Aravaipa Creek in late March and early April 2021 to remove nonnative Yellow Bullhead fish that threaten the survival of the native fish community. Removing these non-native fish will help protect native fish species and their habitats.

The aquatic invasive species team at the Lake Havasu Field Office gave a presentation to educate the public on preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species from BLM-managed lands along the lower Colorado River. In addition to educating the public on how to help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species, the team will soon begin offering watercraft decontaminations for boaters on the Parker Strip on the California side of the Colorado River.
