Inspectors rely on both your answers to survey questions as well as a visual and physical inspection of the watercraft to make their risk determination.

All of our education and outreach efforts are designed to help the public to understand the threat that invasive species pose to Whatcom County waters and steps they can take to help prevent their spread.

Inspectors will only need to do a visual inspection of the exterior of the watercraft.

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

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?

Zebra and quagga mussels can create long-term taste and odor issues in drinking water supplies and clog water intake structures.
