Description
There is ample evidence of non-motorized boats being capable of transporting dreissenid mussels and other aquatic invasive species as reported by various state watercraft inspection decontamination (WID) program managers. Recent inspections have found dreissenid mussels attached to non-motorized craft, such as drift boats and sailboats. State program managers report that non-motorized boaters fail to stop at WID stations. Non-motorized boaters may not be aware or do not comply with WID rules for mandatory inspection, as they may not believe IT applies to their craft or are unaware of regulations. Invasive species action network (isan) recognizes that the landscape of non-motorized boating demands consistent education to ensure that both new and seasoned boaters are exposed to prevention outreach and made aware of WID regulations. We propose a multi-faceted effort to provide education and outreach to the non-motorized boating community through manufacturers at the point of sale, targeted advertising and social media, and multi-media efforts at consumer and athletic events. To date, isan has been able to utilize quagga and zebra mussel action plan (qzap) funding to work collaboratively with non-motorized boating manufacturers to directly share messaging on clean drain dry (CDD) to prevent the spread of invasive species and encourage inspection station compliance with their specific product point of sale. This effort engages manufacturers on the issue of invasive species and their long-term participation in IT. Expanding and continuing these efforts will further enforce preventative measures for the non-motorized boating community.
