This announcement just out this week, on
HTML https://www.canals.ny.gov/news/pressrel/index.html
It's a new collaborative effort between the NYS Canal Authority
and the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation (once again) to
rid the NYS Erie Canal System of yet another invasive species,
that is threatening it's sustainability. This one is discussed
in the NYS Press Release below.

The first invasive species collaboration, between the NYSCC and
the NYSDEC, is reviewed here:

Invasive Plants & Trees are still the issue with Erie Canal
Embankments. That issue brought about the new Canal Embankment
Integrity Effort. Many trees and other plants that growing along
miles of high-hazard canal embankments fall into this category
of "prohibited invasive species"

And now the LATEST problem with invasive specie issues is found
inside the embankments, in the water of the Erie Canal, it's the
Round Goby fish. You can read more about it here and follow the
links to see what other animals make the NYS Invasive Animal
List

And these Round Goby are already inside the Erie Canal Waterway
System, according to this Invasive Species website that monitors
these issues. This website had a great map showing where active
issues are or invasive fish.
