BOATING AND INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM
Ontario is taking important steps to prevent the spread of invasive species through the boater pathway by implementing
rules are based on Clean, Drain, Dry practices. Effective January 1st, 2022 boaters will be required to remove drain plugs
and take reasonable precautions to remove all aquatic plants, animals, and algae from their boats immediately upon
removing the watercraft from a waterbody. In addition, boaters will also be required to ensure their watercraft is free of all
aquatic plants, animals, and algae before arriving at a boat launch or launching their boat in any Ontario waterbody.

The objective of this proposal is to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species which can occur
through the movement of watercraft overland to other waterbodies in Ontario and to other provinces and states. The rules
are based on the Clean, Drain, Dry practices which have been promoted through education and outreach efforts across
North America, by FOCA, and others. Boaters are now required to remove drain plugs, drain all on board water and remove
any aquatic plants upon removing the watercraft from a waterbody.

Prior to reaching a launch site for a body of water, the
watercraft, watercraft equipment and any vehicle or trailer
used to transport the watercraft or watercraft equipment must
not have an aquatic plant, animal or algae attached to it Note:
watercraft includes any motorboat, rowboat, canoe, punt,
sailboat, or raft. To learn more visit www.ontario.ca/page/
