Protect Your Waters and Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!
Welcome to a site for recreational users who want to help stop aquatic nuisance species. As Americans, we love to spend time on the water. Protecting these resources is an important part of our overall enjoyment. A concern we must all address is the spreading of harmful plants, animals and other organisms. These aquatic nuisance species can hitch a ride on our clothing, boats, and items used in the water. When we go to another lake or stream, the nuisance species can be released. And, if the conditions are right, these introduced species can become established and create drastic results.
So what can we do? By following a simple procedure each time we leave the water, we can stop aquatic hitchhikers.
-
Clean your boat and equipment to remove potential invasive species.
-
Drain you boat so invasive species don't have a place to hide until your next
trip to the lake.
-
Dry your boat and equipment to kill any invasive species too small to see.
Knowing which waters contain nuisance hitchhikers is not as important as doing the procedure every time we leave any lake, stream or coastal area. (Click on the link for details on what to do.)
