"Recreational boating is incredibly popular in the United States. According to the U.S. Coast Guard's Recreational Boating Statistics, over 12.4 million recreational vessels were registered in the states in 2010. Many of these vessels are small enough to be towed overland on trailers, allowing boaters to enjoy the wonderful fishing, water sport, and scenic opportunities available at waters around the country. Unfortunately, more is moving than just boats. Mud and plants can cling to the exterior of boats and boat trailers. Water can remain in ballast tanks, live wells, and other compartments. If proper precautions are not taken, boaters may inadvertently transport species to new environments where they can cause economic, environmental, and human harm by disrupting existing ecosystems. In extreme cases, these new arrivals - referred to as "aquatic invasive species"--Can reduce fish populations, alter water quality, and damage public infrastructure. In recent years, states around the country have taken action to reduce the risk that aquatic invasive species, such as quagga mussels and Eurasian water milfoil, are spread through the movement of trailered boats. States have funded extensive public education and outreach campaigns to raise awareness of the threat and promote best management practices. Some have enacted laws that require boaters to self-inspect their boats and pull drain plugs upon exiting from the water. A few states, primarily concentrated in the west where the looming threat of a quagga or zebra mussel invasion prompted legislative action, have implemented watercraft inspection and decontamination (WID) programs. WID programs seek to reduce the risk of aquatic invasive species spread through the inspection and decontamination of watercraft and equipment by trained personnel. Currently western WID programs take a variety of forms. Although standard protocols for inspection and decontamination have been developed by the Pacific State Marine Fisheries Commission, state usage and terminology varies. Other non-western states also have some similar provisions and protocols in place, but again these vary. As a result, boaters crossing state lines encounter a potentially confusing array of inspection and decontamination requirements. Inspectors are often unsure of the WID history of a given boat and thus may unknowingly subject a boat to more scrutiny than is necessary. This increases WID implementation costs and inconveniences boaters. Interstate cooperation and reciprocity is essential to effectively manage aquatic invasive species risks from recreational boats and other pathways. Purpose: These Model State Legislative Provisions were developed for two purposes. First, the provisions provide guidance to states with WID programs to create a foundation for reciprocity. Second, for states without WID programs, the provisions outline a legal framework for the authorization of new WID programs. Where states are able to align their legal authorities on this topic, the initial groundwork is laid to facilitate the adoption of standard protocols and agreements among states to accept one another's inspections, decontaminations, and receipts. In turn, alignment of state legislative provisions can greatly reduce confusion among the boating public and increase compliance, reduce the need for federal legislation to address interstate issues, and simplify law enforcement with respect to knowing violators or repeat offenders."--Executive Summary.

Humans play a critical role in the dispersal of exotic invasive species. Estimating pathways for non-native species by human vectors is a major challenge to invasion biologists, as well as federal, state and regional resource managers. Focusing on dispersal pathways that are available to not just one, but a number of species, allows for the efficient inspection and possible reduction of many exotic species introductions. Transient recreational boating has been used as an estimate of invasion pressure to inland freshwater bodies, and used to predict prior and future species invasions. Specifically, recreational boating traffic is used to predict human-mediated aquatic invasion in the Midwestern United States through the use of spatial interaction models called gravity models. California and Nevada contain some of the largest and most recreationally utilized lakes, rivers and reservoirs in the Western United States. These waterways attract millions of visitor days by boaters not only from within the region, but all over the United States and are currently experiencing increasing numbers of non-native species introductions from the Midwestern U.S.

"These proceedings summarize the relevant presentations and discussions of the national science advisory meeting held on 8-11 December 2015 at the Marriott Chateau Champlain in Montreal, Quebec. The conclusions and advice resulting from this meeting will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report that will be make publicly available on the CSAS website. Meeting participants included experts from various sectors and regions of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as external participants from the University of Toronto, North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Nature Conservancy, the Smithsonian Institute, McGill University, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the National Aquatic Invasive Species Committee. Three working papers were distributed prior to the meeting in addition to a list of several reference documents. The purpose of this meeting was to collect and provide scientific advice on the risk that recreational boating, as a vector for the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive specices (AIS), poses to Canadian fresh and marine waters."--Summary, p. v.

Fouling occurs when marine microbes, plants, and animals, and/or their spores and larvae attach and grow on the hull of a boat or ship. If they survive the trip to a distant harbor, they may spawn, release spores, or be removed and discarded there. If they succeed in the new area, they may create problems.
