- Experts urge the public to inspect boat propellers, clean gear, and avoid transporting firewood or plants to help curb the spread of destructive species.
- The Arvin-Edison Water Storage District is actively battling the rapid spread of golden invasive species, with Sam Blue describing the threat as "real" and requiring urgent action.
