Prevent AIS - Use Permitted Service Providers

3/1/12

Reminder. Ice out is coming and it's up to everyone using MN lakes and waters to help prevent the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species.

The Legislature passed law last year requiring all service providers that place boats, equipment and other items into our lakes and streams to have training on AIS identification and prevention measures. All of us should insist that the service providers we use have the proper training.

It's easy to do. Just demand to see the providers DNR sticker (yellow sticker should be on their vehicles) or their training paperwork. All providers should have received notice of the requirement to be trained and have had opportunities to get trained. So, no excuses. No documentation? Just say no to using them.

Tell your friends and neighbors!


You can verify a provider’s certification status by contacting the MN DNR at www.dnr.state.mn.us/lsp or 651-259-5100

Happy Reading!
