Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!
February 02, 2012 -- It’s up to boaters and anglers to keep nuisance species from invading NH’s waters!
Several species of non-native aquatic plants invade waterbodies, forming thick underwater stands of tangled stems and vast mats of vegetation at the water’s surface. They can crowd out important native water plants. Once they become established, aquatic nuisance species can be impossible to contain and control—so please make sure you’re not accidentally bringing an aquatic hitchhiker into the state! Read the full story to get the details.
"To prevent the transport of aquatic nuisance species, please clean all recreational equipment."
