Objective: Step up enforcement

We have worked for many years to create the regulatory framework that now exists to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invaders. With a strong set of laws and rules, and polling data showing high levels of awareness and compliance among boaters, we now have the task of ensuring that these laws are supported by comprehensive enforcement. Department of Natural Resources conservation wardens will continue efforts to move from education to enforcement. They will partner with county and local law enforcement officials and work with volunteers at the boat landings to ensure water users across the state are receiving consistent messages.
