Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Environment is asking for help from the public in the ongoing battle against aquatic invasive species (AIS).
In a media release Tuesday, the ministry reminded people to stop at all provincial watercraft inspection stations at provincial and international borders. The stations are located along highways and near bodies of water.
The inspection of watercraft is mandatory in Saskatchewan and is required for boats, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats and jetskis.
“Before returning home from out of province, coming to visit or moving between waters within the province, make sure to follow the clean, drain, dry guidelines for your watercraft and all related equipment,” the release said.
People are urged to remove plants, animals and mud from trailers, hulls, motors and fishing equipment using high-pressure, hot tap water. They also should drain all water from bilges and livewells and flush them with hot water, then allow the equipment to dry completely.
Owners also should take out all plugs during transport and tilt the watercraft when it’s stored to allow the bilge to both drain and dry.
The ministry says anyone who buys a watercraft out of province in the fall after the inspection stations close for the season must dry dock the craft for the winter.
