AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES. Boat Owner agrees to complete the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Mussel Aware Boater program. (Go to XXXxxxxxXxx.Xxxx.xxx to access training materials and information.) If the vessel has been used in infested waters, the Boat Owner agrees to Clean, Drain and Dry the vessel for the following recommended times: 7 days in the summer, 18 days in the spring/fall, and 30 days in the winter, or 30 days if the vessel has been in unverifiable waters. If the Boat Owner is unable to complete the recommended dry times, owner agrees to arrange for a professional decontamination to be done before the vessel and trailer are placed in the water. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep the vessel mussel free during slip rental period. Violators of this section will be charged with an infraction and subject to fines up to $200.
AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES. The purpose of this Annex is to ensure cooperative and coordinated efforts to reduce the threat of aquatic invasive species to Great Lakes water quality and ecosystem health. Aquatic invasive species (AIS) have altered Great Lakes ecosystems and caused significant disruptions to many of the benefits those ecosystems provide to Canadians. The continued introduction of AIS is one of the most significant threats to biodiversity in the Great Lakes. They can degrade water quality by increasing suspended solids, concentrating toxins, and altering nutrient and energy flows within the food web. Zebra and quagga mussels trap nutrients in the nearshore zones of the Great Lakes, contributing to degraded water quality, algae development and deleterious impacts on fish and wildlife populations. The Parties will provide leadership by working with all jurisdictions across the Great Lakes basin to develop effective rules and standards that can be practically applied by industry and the public, and that are consistent with rules and standards in other jurisdictions. They will continue to coordinate the implementation of the Canadian Action Plan to Address the Threat of Aquatic Invasive Species and the Ontario Invasive Species Strategic Plan, with a special focus on the priority actions for invasive species in the Great Lakes – prevention, detection, rapid response, management and adaptation. Provincial regulations are in place prohibiting possession of live invasive fish species in Ontario, including live Asian carp. Coordinated efforts are being taken by several federal/provincial agencies and have resulted in a number of successful interceptions and prosecutions under these regulations. The prohibition of possession of live Asian Carp in other jurisdictions – the United States, Quebec, Manitoba, and British Columbia – provides further protection. Sea lamprey control is a significant federal action that is critical to meeting fish community and ecosystem objectives for the Great Lakes. This program is the largest AIS control program in the world. It is delivered under the Great Lakes Fishery Convention by Canada (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) and the United States, through the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. The recently incorporated Invasive Species Centre in Sault Ste. Xxxxx is a new collaboration amongst the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Canadian Forest Service Branch of Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Fisheries and Oceans ...
AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES. Within one year of the effective date of the new license, in consultation with the RRFF, Chelan PUD shall develop and begin implementation of an AIS Monitoring and Control Plan (Monitoring Plan) for the Project to monitor for the presence of new invasive species at or near Project facilities, as described in Section 4.5 of Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan.
