Question: 1 / 400

To avoid introducing and spreading non-native species, what should not be done?

Cleaning the boat thoroughly before entering new waters

Draining all water from bilge, motor, and live wells

Leaving aquatic plants on gear and boat to dry

Aquatic plants can easily attach to boats and other gear and spread to new bodies of water. Cleaning the boat and removing plants from the boat before leaving the water helps prevent the spread of non-native species. A, B, and D are the correct actions to take to avoid introducing and spreading non-native species, making C the incorrect answer. Leaving aquatic plants on gear and boat to dry can still lead to the spread of non-native species because the plants may still contain viable seeds or reproductive cells that can survive and reproduce in new waters. Therefore, it is important to properly clean and dry all gear and equipment before moving to a new body of water.
