Yes, though once inspected for the year they would need no further inspection as long as their boat remains in the water, at the dock, or on its trailer at the residence. All vessels must display a valid aquatic invasive species permit when launching and while operating on Lake Whatcom or Lake Samish. Take advantage of the on-site program and have inspectors come to you! Call (360) 778-7975 for more information.
We need your help to protect Whatcom County waters. Together, we can stop the spread of aquatic invasive species and protect our environment, our drinking water supply, and our way of life.
