A regional effort to manage invasive species and protect native ecosystems.
Three Shores CISMA (Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area) is a partnership of governmental, tribal, non-profit, and private stakeholders to manage invasive species throughout Chippewa, Luce, and Mackinac Counties.
Convened as the Eastern Upper Peninsula Cooperative Weed Management Area in 2010, five years later the EUP CWMA changed its name to Three Shores CISMA. At that time the CISMA grew to include over 40 partner organizations all working together to cooperatively mange invasive species.
Three Shores works to build community awareness and participation in invasive species control efforts, reduces the risk of control efforts to water and rare species by assuring that partners employ Best Management Practices, provides an early detection and rapid response network, and helps to secure funding. Our priorities are education; prevention; monitoring; and integrated pest management.
The Chippewa Luce Mackinac Conservation District is a founding partner of the Three Shores CISMA and has been its fiduciary since the beginning. CLMCD is proud to partner with Three Shores to cooperatively combat invasive species.
