National Invasive Species Week! Good info to know.
It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! Did you know:
1. Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) damage ecosystems and negatively impact fishing by depleting natural food resources and altering the water environment
2. AIS infestation can result in serious damage to boats and their components. Invasive plant life can foul propellers, jam impellors, and cause equipment failure
3. A large number of federal, state, and local agencies have enacted laws and regulations for inspections and water access for vessels
4. Innovative boat and system designs can help decrease the spread of AIS!
ABYC developed a FREE webinar to provide best practices and recommendations for manufacturers as well as information on how to educate boaters. You can view the free webinar here: www.abycinc.org/AISwebinar
