Aquatic Invasive Species Program
Prevent, Control, or Eradicate Aquatic Invasive Species
Clean, drain, and dry is the AIS Program mantra that guides recreators on what they can do to help prevent the introductions of AIS. To enhance non-motorized watercraft becoming clean, drain , and dry, cleaning stations are being sought to be placed at strategic locations to protect waters of the Region.
Equipment developed by CD3, allows for recreators to reduce risk of introduction by providing tools to remove AIS and/or water, and a receptacle for storing any material removed from the non-motorized vessel.
Two units have been acquired through the League to Save Lake Tahoe and BIL. One rotates locations, the other is stationed at Meeks Resort in partnership with the Washoe Tribe.
