I found this article in the Outdoors section of the StarTribune website, Minneapolis, MN. The article is geared for Minnesota residents, but the tips it gives for ways boaters can reduce the spread of invasive plants and annimals should work anywhere. The idea is to clean everything on your boat that could harbor invasive species after you remove the boat from the water. First, remove any vegitation that sticks to your boat or trailer. Next, be sure to pull your boats drainplug and also drain your livewell. Washing these with hot water will also help. Also remove vegitation from and wash everything that has been in the water. Following these steps will help stop the spread of invasive species. Brought to you by Reel Work, Fort Lauderdale Fishing Charters.
