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?

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

Zebra and quagga mussels attach themselves to hard surfaces tightly like superglue and are very difficult to remove without high pressure, hot water.

A prevention program can help stop aquatic invasive species from being introduced.

Adult quagga and zebra mussels can survive out of the water for up to 30 days.

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