Know of a site that would be great for a landing blitz? Locations can be a harbor, marina, or boat launch that sees high use and where there is concern of invasive species being moved from one body of water to another. 
​
Look for us this summer as we visit harbors and boat launches throughout the Saginaw Bay to promote Clean Boats, Clean Waters. Either MSU Extension Mobile Boat Wash or the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe will be onsite to provide complimentary invasive species inspections and boat washes to any boater at the launch.


​Since 2006 the Clean Boats, Clean Waters program has been educating Michigan boaters about aquatic invasive species with trained volunteer boat inspectors. Funding from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has enabled Clean Boats, Clean Waters to grow into a comprehensive aquatic invasive species boater outreach program. The program’s mission remains the same:  to prevent new aquatic invasive species introductions and limit their dispersal from water recreation activities through outreach and engagement. The reinvented Clean Boats, Clean Waters program promotes understanding of boat cleaning practices and regulations through the distribution of educational materials, an online resource library, boat washing demonstrations, grants and partnerships.
​

This project is made possible by the Michigan Invasive Species Grant program, and the Clean Boats, Clean Waters program through Michigan State University Extension. Learn more at www.canr.msu.edu/clean_boats_clean_waters.
