The Town has been hard at work tackling the invasive goldfish in our storm water pond, and we’ve made real progress! Over the past 3 days, in the first of 2 pesticide applications that will be performed, the Town’s staff have removed more than 64,000 (and counting!) goldfish totalling 570kg. As part of the licensing process, the fish must be counted and properly disposed of. While it may seem unusual to tally up tens of thousands of goldfish, this step is important for environmental reporting and accountability. We again want to remind residents that although goldfish look harmless in an aquarium, goldfish in our storm water system grow quickly, upset the natural balance, and put local ecosystems at risk. Goldfish can spawn as much as once per month during the spring and summer and unchecked a population of goldfish can grow exponentially. Thank you for your patience as this work continues.
