The Ministry of Natural Resource says it's being proactive in the fight to keep invasive species out of the area's border waters.
Last week, Minnesota's department of Natural resources complained no enough was being done to protect Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods.
Spokesperson Michelle Novak says part of their efforts have been through education.
Novak says the MNR also works jointly with Minnesota, something Koochiching County commissioners were asking for last week.
