Non-native species that can “take over”

Spread primarily with the help of humans

Major recreational, ecological, and economic impacts

Volunteer Watercraft Inspection Program

Trains volunteers to organize and conduct boater education campaigns in their community

Since 2004, over 1,100 volunteers trained

Clean Boats, Clean Clean Boats, Clean WatersWaters

Page 9: Preventing the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species: What We Can Do Name Event Date.

Main Goals: Educate citizens on what AIS are & how they’re spread Communicate that individuals CAN make a difference by

following prevention steps Collect data on boater behaviors & motivations

Clean Boats = Clean Clean Boats = Clean WatersWaters

Page 10: Preventing the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species: What We Can Do Name Event Date.

Help Stop the Spread—

Inspect and remove aquatic plants and animals

Drain all lake or river water (from bilges, live wells, etc.)

Dispose of unwanted bait in trash

Rinse boat and equipment with high temperature/high pressure water OR

Dry boat for at least 5 days
