inspection by an authorized inspector prior
to launching in any water of the state. Any
watercraft that has been in a water infested

Aquatic
Invasive Species Program Went Smoothly
In 2012 (Oct 29, 2012)
Wyoming Game and
Fish Department.
Wyoming's third boating season following
passage of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)
legislation in 2010 was deemed a success
based on the numbers of boats inspected,
AIS decal sales, and overall cooperation
from boaters. From May 17 through Sep 9,
about 38,659 watercraft inspections were
conducted at 36 different waters throughout
Wyoming. Boaters are encouraged to follow
the Drain,
Clean, and Dry protocol each and
every time they launch, even when an inspection
station is not present at the water. Additional
information on aquatic invasive species is
on the Game and Fish website wgfd.wyo.gov.
