Fragrant waterlilly has been found to be growing in Lake Samish.

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

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?

People who live on Lake Whatcom or Lake Samish and keep their boat on the lake and never take it anywhere else do not need to buy an AIS Permit or to get their watercraft inspected.

What will greatly reduce the time it takes to inspect your watercraft for AIS?

If a bait well or a hold on your boat has water in it, but the water looks clean, do you still need to drain and dry the hold before launching your boat?
