If you are a water recreationist—boater, angler, water-skier, sailor, jet ski user or canoeist—there are some important things you can do to prevent the transport of harmful invasive species from one lake or river to another.

 

 In Minnesota it is illegal to transport harmful invasive species.

 

 

Tips for water recreationists to stop aquatic hitchhikers:

 

·         INSPECT and REMOVE aquatic plants & animals before entering/leaving access

·         DRAIN water before leaving access

·         DISPOSE of unwanted live bait in the trash, not in the water or on land

·         SPRAY, RINSE or DRY boats (zebra mussels, spiny & fishhook waterfleas)


Learn to identify aquatic invasive species

  • SAVE a suspected invasive plant or animal in a sealed plastic bag

  • CALL local DNR before transporting any material

  • REPORT location of suspected invasive


    Know the rules:

    ·         Do not transport aquatic plants, zebra mussels or other invasive species

    ·         Do not launch a boat or place a trailer in the water if it has aquatic plants, zebra  mussels or other invasive species attached

    ·         Do not transport water from infested waters (bilge, live well, bait buckets, etc)
