1. Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) pose a serious threat to the natural and recreational resources of the Tahoe area and beyond by altering ecosystems and hindering recreation.

 

Lake Tahoe has the same aquatic invasive species (AIS) as other regional water bodies, such as Echo and Fallen Leaf lakes.

 

To clean your non-motorized watercraft thoroughly after every use, you must remove all dirt, plants, and other material from the rudder, hull, cockpit, and gear.

 

To drain the water from your non-motorized watercraft and gear, open all hatches or plugs, turn the watercraft upside down, and incline it on land for an adequate amount of time before you leave the immediate area.

 

The following can transport AIS between waterbodies:





  

Any watercraft or gear should be Clean, Drained, and Dry for at least ____ to ensure aquatic invasive species are not present.




  

Inspection and decontamination for non-motorized watercraft are available at roadside watercraft inspection stations for ____.





  

The free Tahoe Boating App includes:





  

The best way to be sure you are not transporting AIS is to Clean, Drain, and Dry your watercraft after every use, and Dispose of any debris in trash containers or above the waterline where it can't be washed into a stream, river, or lake.
