BOATING SAFETY
1-17
When you go boating responsibly, with respect and
courtesy for others, you help ensure that our
waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a variety of
recreational opportunities.
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 below
the water line, remove all weeds and algae, and drain
the bilge 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 two common, accidental types
of discharge:
• Overfilling the fuel tanks
• Pumping contaminated bilge water
Fumes from rags can collect in the bilge and be
extremely hazardous. Do not store rags used to
wipe up fuel or solvent spills in the boat.
Dispose of rags properly ashore.
