It’s never been more important to protect your waters from invasive species, which is why Invasive Species Action Network and I are asking you to adopt three simple steps + take the clean boater pledge. Clean Drain Dry Adopting these simple practices in your boating routine can have a massive impact protecting your home waters from invasive species that wreak havoc on your river, lake and stream ecosystems causing water quality to decline, harmful algae blooms and fish and wildlife populations to suffer to list a few of the many detrimental impacts. By joining this commitment to keeping invasive species out of our freshwaters, commenting “Pledge” and sharing this post with a friend you’ll be entered to win a @nrsweb PFD and a kayak and paddle from @lifetimeproducts ! And most importantly, as you spend time on the water this summer you’ll be part of a groundswell of waterkeepers committed to protecting these invaluable freshwater ecosystems.
