Aquatic Invasive Species
H-1
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are plants and animals that occur in waters in which they are not native
and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental damage or harm to
human health. AIS have a negative impact on the waterway, its native species, and recreational and
commercial uses of the waterway. As responsible boaters and citizens, each boat owner should do their
part to prevent the spread of these aquatic hitchhikers. In many cases, it is also required by law. Check
local regulations for any waterway where you will boat. After each boating trip, follow these three
simple steps before you leave the water access to stop the spread of AIS: Clean, Drain, and Dry. This is
the boater’s way to help protect the environment from the damage that AIS can cause.
PATHWAYS OF AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES
We are living in a very different era where goods, people and services are being shipped around the
world. Because of this globalized economy, different species are hitchhiking through many different
pathways. Species can be moved to new locations in many ways, and most are a result of human
activity, including recreational activities. Some common ways that species may be moved during
recreational boating and other activities include:
•
Attaching to watercraft, trailers, motor and fishing gear.
•
Transport by water ballast water, bilge, and other water containing devices.
•
Dumping of unwanted live bait.
•
Tangled in fishing lines and downrigger cables
•
Sticking to the soles of waders
•
Trapped in mud on a dog’s paws
Just one organism, or in some case a piece of a plant, is enough to start a new invasion.

Just one organism, or in some case a piece of a plant, is enough to start a new invasion.
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are plants and animals that occur in waters in which they are not native
and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental damage or harm to
human health. AIS have a negative impact on the waterway, its native species, and recreational and
commercial uses of the waterway. As responsible boaters and citizens, each boat owner should do their
part to prevent the spread of these aquatic hitchhikers. In many cases, it is also required by law. Check
local regulations for any waterway where you will boat. After each boating trip, follow these three
simple steps before you leave the water access to stop the spread of AIS: Clean, Drain, and Dry. This is
the boater’s way to help protect the environment from the damage that AIS can cause.
PATHWAYS OF AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES
We are living in a very different era where goods, people and services are being shipped around the
world. Because of this globalized economy, different species are hitchhiking through many different
pathways. Species can be moved to new locations in many ways, and most are a result of human
activity, including recreational activities. Some common ways that species may be moved during
recreational boating and other activities include:
•
Attaching to watercraft, trailers, motor and fishing gear.
•
Transport by water ballast water, bilge, and other water containing devices.
•
Dumping of unwanted live bait.
•
Tangled in fishing lines and downrigger cables
•
Sticking to the soles of waders
