Section 1

Our Environment

As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace

of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the

natural environment by keeping waterways clean.

Foreign Species

If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly

introduce a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next.

Thoroughly clean the boat and trailer below the water line, remove

all weeds and algae, and drain the bilge and ballast tanks before

launching the boat in a new body of water.

Fuel/Oil Spillage

The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the

environment and is dangerous to wildlife. DO NOT discharge or

dispose of fuel, oil or other chemicals into the water; it is prohibited

and you can be fined. These are three common, accidental types of

discharge:

• During initial fueling of a nearly empty tank

• Overfilling the fuel tanks

• Pumping contaminated bilge water

Fire or explosion hazard from fumes

accumulating from rags being stored in bilge area. DO

NOT store rags used to wipe up fuel or solvent spills in

the boat. Dispose of rags properly ashore.
