BURNETT COUNTY LAKES & RIVERS ASSOCIATION: Lake Launch Monitoring & AIS Education - 2 Seasons
Burnett County Lakes & Rivers Association is sponsoring a two-year boat launch surveillance, watercraft inspection, and public education project on five lakes (Mud Hen, Lake Twenty Six, Big Wood, Yellow, and Johnson Lakes). This is a two-year pilot project in Wisconsin and the only of its kind being funded with AIS grant dollars.
The project includes: monitoring equipment installed at seven landings that will capture the frequency of usage and identify high-use time periods; a process for capturing and reporting violations of the Illegal to Launch law; development of angler education materials that will be distributed to local bait shops; implementation of garbage receptacles at landings; and a Clean Boats Clean Waters workshop.
