What Can You Do?

Preventing the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species is critically important to protecting the health of Michigan’s valuable water resources. You can help by following these practices:

	Remove any visible mud, plants, fish or animals from boats, trailers and fishing equipment before transport.
	Wash boats and trailers with a power washer, if available.
	Drain water from equipment (boat, motor, trailer, live wells) before transporting.
	Clean and dry anything that comes in contact with water (boats, trailers, equipment, clothing, pets, etc.)
	Dispose of unwanted fishing bait in the trash.
	Never release plants, fish or animals into a body of water unless they came from that body of water.
	Learn to recognize the appearance and characteristics of aquatic invasive species.
