AIS Awareness Course Question 1 of 7 The goal of decontamination is to kill and remove all evidence of aquatic invasive species using high-pressure, hot water. True False None Question 2 of 7 You decide to take your boat from Lake Samish to Lake Terrell. How can you help prevent the spread of Asian clams between these two lakes? By washing the exterior of your watercraft before launching at Lake Terrell By cleaning, draining, and drying your watercraft and equipment before launching at Lake Terrell By collecting clams in a bucket and transporting them to Lake Terrell By dumping the contents of your bait bucket in Lake Terrell None Question 3 of 7 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? Remove every plant fragment you find when exiting the lake, and wash and thoroughly dry the boat as soon as possible. Let the plants hang on the boat and trailer to dry in the air.
