If you get a wire seal attached to your boat and trailer when leaving Lake Whatcom, and then come back to Lake Whatcom another day with the tether still intact, will you need to stop at a staffed inspection station?

By educating all Whatcom County boaters and residents, the Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program aims to protect:

The goal of decontamination is to kill and remove all evidence of aquatic invasive species using high-pressure, hot water.

No aquatic invasive plants have been found to be growing in Lake Whatcom.

Once an aquatic invasive species becomes established in a waterbody, it becomes increasingly difficult and costly to manage the population.

Aquatic invasive species can make shoreline areas hazardous and uninviting for recreational users and waterfront property owners.
