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

What is the best way to dispose of aquatic plant fragments that you remove from your boat?

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.

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?
