(St. Paul, MN) — The State of Minnesota is putting 13 plants, fish, and worms on its list of prohibited invasive species.
The DNR says a dozen types of plants, fish, and shellfish are immediately banned to protect Minnesota’s environment and economy. The list includes mitten crabs, walking catfish, golden clams and the non-native common reed.
Jumping worms will also be banned effective July 1st to give businesses that sell worms a chance to comply with the new regulations.
