WY AIS inspection stations finding more mussels, invasive animals on watercraft

Game and Fish urges boaters to Clean, Drain, Dry watercraft?

CHEYENNE ? Wyoming aquatic invasive species inspection stations are intercepting an increased number of boats harboring invasive aquatic animals and plants. Close to four months into the 2022 boating season, Wyoming Game and Fish Department has stopped 10 boats with mussels attached, one with a live brook stickleback mixed with live-caught bait and one with curly pondweed.? The increased numbers indicate that AIS continues to threaten Wyoming waters, and boaters play a big role in keeping them out.
