CPW reminds boaters of inspection requirements

As boating season approaches, Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds boaters to help prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species. Some lakes and reservoirs are slated to open as early as March 1.

The best way to stop the spread of ANS is to be sure your watercraft and all gear is clean, drained and dry between each use. If it can’t be drained (e.g. ballast tanks, inboard/outboard or inboard engines) it needs to be decontaminated when moving between locations within 30 days that are positive and negative for ANS.

CPW regulation requires inspection for all boats launched at any time in another state prior to entering Colorado’s waters and after boating in any waters positive for zebra and quagga mussels, non-native waterflea, New Zealand mudsnail or Eurasian watermilfoil.

The 2015 season marked the highest number of infested mussel interceptions from out-of-state boats. CPW’s inspection and decontamination program prevented 24 infested boats from contaminating Colorado waters with zebra or quagga mussels.

Mussels can survive out of water for 30 days. If boats move from positive waters to negative waters, they must be clean, drained and dry for 30 days or decontaminated to prevent the spread of ANS within the state.
