What Can I Do to Prevent the Spread of AIS? You must: Clean visible aquatic plants, zebra mussels and other prohibited species from watercraft, trailers, and equipment before transporting from any water access. Drain water from  bilge, livewell, motor, ballast tanks, and portable bait containers before leaving water accesses or shoreline property. Keep drain plug out and water-draining devices open while transporting watercraft.

What Can I Do to Prevent the Spread of AIS? You may not: Transport aquatic plants, water, or prohibited invasive species such as zebra mussels or Eurasian watermilfoil. Dump live bait into state waters, on shore, or on the ground. Launch, or attempt to place, watercraft, trailers or equipment with aquatic plants, zebra mussels, or prohibited invasive species into any state waters.
