Report an observation

Your vigilance constitutes our first line of defense against invasive species. Each reported observation can make the difference between successful early intervention and uncontrollable widespread infestation.

We have developed a simple and effective reporting system that allows citizens to quickly transmit their observations. Our online form guides users through essential information: precise location, species description, photographs, and observation conditions.

A team of qualified biologists analyzes each report within 24 hours. Confirmed observations immediately trigger our emergency intervention protocols, enabling rapid and targeted response to limit spread.

Learn to identify

Knowledge of invasive species is a powerful protection tool. Our illustrated identification guides enable each citizen to acquire the skills necessary to recognize potential threats during their lake activities.

These educational resources combine detailed photographs, characteristic descriptions, and practical advice to distinguish invasive species from their native counterparts. Waterproof field cards facilitate identification in the field.

Our guides are regularly updated to include emerging new threats and latest scientific discoveries. This continuous training strengthens the collective capacity for surveillance and protection of our lacustrine ecosystem.
