The Yolo Bypass serves as part of a system to prevent flooding in the Sacramento Valley. Weirs connect the bypass to the Sacramento River. The water is eventually drained into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

A student enrolled in WLD2139 Invasive Plant Management, a course offered at the USFWS National Conservation Training Center removes jetbead, an invasive exotic shrub from Asia most likely spread from landscape plantings. This student tried to get...
A sheet covers the caged nutria to keep it calm during the tail tagging. Tagging the animals will help biologists to better understand the nutria and prevent their spreading.
A collar tag to be put on a nutria. It's designed stretch so it can be put on snugly and a nutria will neither get a limb stuck inside nor have trouble breathing. Tagging the animals will help biologists to better understand the nutria's habits and...
The tagged nutria is released back into the water. Tagging the animals will help biologists to better understand the habits of nutria and prevent their spreading.
A trap baited with carrots and apples awaits a nutria to venture out of the water and investigate. The animals are trapped in order to tag them to better understand the habits of nutria and to prevent their spreading.
A nutria is given a shot to put it to sleep while the collar is measured. Tagging the animals will help biologists to better understand the nutria as well as prevent their spreading.
A collar is successfully attached to the nutria. Tagging the animals will help biologists to better understand the nutria and to prevent their spreading.
Biologists prepare a tag for a nutria. The animals are trapped in order to tag them to better understand the habits of nutria and to prevent overpopulation.

December 1997 "Shipwreck Response Kits like this are stored in strategic locations along Alaska's coast so that the refuge and cooperators can quickly deploy traps and poison to prevent rats from coming ashore from sinking or grounded...
Zebra mussels can attach themselves to boats and thereby inadvertantly be transferred to different waterways where they spread. Important for boaters in infected areas to be sure to careful clean their boat hulls/rudders, etc to prevent the spread...
Boaters, anglers, and waterfowl hunters can help prevent further spread of aquatic invasive species. For more information on the zebra mussel go to : http://protectyourwaters.net/
