In the state of Washington you can be fined for towing a boat/trailer on the road with plant fragments attached.

Boating is a primary pathway for the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species to and from Whatcom County lakes.

Eurasian watermilfoil has NOT been found growing in any lake in Whatcom County.

Inspectors will only need to do a visual inspection of the exterior of the watercraft.

Aquatic invasive species can clog water intake pipes and impede the flow of water to municipal water supplies, irrigation operations, and power plants.

Aquatic invasive species can cause long-term taste and odor issues in drinking water supplies.

If you boat on a lake infested with Eurasian watermilfoil or other aquatic weeds, what is the best way to prevent the plants from spreading somewhere else?
