If you plan to use your own boat or angler float tube, you’ll need a permit and a free Yellowstone aquatic invasive species inspection. You can speed up the inspection process by arriving with a boat that is clean, drained, and dry. Watercraft that arrive dirty or with standing water will be subject to decontamination. Watercraft that cannot be properly decontaminated will be prohibited from launching.

In May 2010 the last boll weevil was trapped in the state and in March 2012 the boll weevil was declared eradicated from the state of Louisiana. The Eradication Program is now at a maintenance level, funded through grower maintenance inspection fees. Traps are placed and monitored according to an approved trapping protocol. Cotton producers have seen increases in yields along with a reduction in the cost of insect control.

Boxwood blight (Calonectria pseudonaviculata, BB) kills plants in the family Buxaceae, including boxwoods, pachysandra, and Sarcococca. It was first detected in the U.S. in 2011, and many states have implemented requirements for boxwoods to have been grown in a certified “clean boxwood” program to ship into their state. When this disease is found in New Hampshire nurseries, infected plants are required to be destroyed. BB has been rarely found in managed boxwood plantations in the state. Care is recommended when introducing new boxwood plants into existing plantations as the disease can be latent and difficult to detect. The Horticultural Research Institute has best management practices guidelines for production and landscape managers.
