CHEYENNE ? Wyoming once again faced an increased risk from aquatic invasive species in 2023, but remains free of invasive mussels. Over the inspection season, Wyoming Game and Fish Department staff at watercraft check stations inspected more than 73,000 boats across the state to protect the state?s waters from invasive aquatic plants and animals. *Game and Fish personnel decontaminated 1,154 watercraft and 64 of those contained mussels ? both the highest since the AIS program was established in 2010 by the Wyoming State Legislature.
