South Lake Tahoe, preview of July 4th on the water (boat inspections)

Blue Agave TYFYS

Often it occurs to protect the lake from invasive species although I don’t think that’s the reasoning behind this occurrence.

Here’s a quote from Glacier National Park:

Protect Glacier's Waters: Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers A concern we must all address is the spread of harmful aquatic invasive species (AIS). These are non-native species that can harm native aquatic ecosystems as well as negatively impact visitor use and enjoyment of park waterways. AIS such as lake trout have been extremely detrimental to native bull trout populations, replacing them as the top aquatic predator in the many of the large lakes on the west side of Glacier. AIS can come in many other forms including other animals such as zebra and quagga mussels, plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil, or pathogens such as whirling disease. These species can hitch a ride on any equipment--boats, trailers, and float tubes, as well as on waders and wading boots. AIS have devastating impacts on native aquatic ecosystems.

What kind of totalitarian state requires one to get their boat inspected before it goes in a lake.

Those that don't want invasive species destroying their lakes because people can't be bothered to dry their bilge.

Another Trump boat parade!
