Landing Blitz July 1-10th!

The Landing Blitz is a statewide effort to remind boaters and other water lovers to take action to stop the spread of aquatic invasive species, which pose great risks to the health of our lakes and fisheries. Volunteers are stationed at boat landings around the state to give demonstrations of the prevention steps that boaters must take before they leave the water: 

• Inspect your boat, trailer and equipment 

• Remove all attached plants or animals 

• Drain all water from boats, motors, livewells and other equipment 

• Never move live fish away from a waterbody 

• Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash 

• Buy minnows from a Wisconsin bait dealer, and use leftover minnows only if you will be using them on that same waterbody or if no lake or river water or other fish were added to the container. 


For more information on this story check out our June 2022 Newsletter: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/9d8bdf99-a469-4a63-b6aa-964398b2ffe0/downloads/April%202022%20DCIST%20Newsletter.pdf?ver=1649963145747
