If you have a non-motorized, hand-carried boat (kayak, canoe) do you need a permit to launch on Lake Whatcom or Lake Samish?
Inspectors will ask you where and when your watercraft was last used.
No aquatic invasive plants have been found to be growing in Lake Whatcom.
Eurasian watermilfoil has NOT been found growing in any lake in Whatcom County.
Boating is a primary pathway for the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species to and from Whatcom County lakes.
Once an aquatic invasive species becomes established in a waterbody, it becomes increasingly difficult and costly to manage the population.
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?
