Boat Launching Sites

DISINFECT equipment if you cannot or do not have the time to dry it before using it in another waterbody. Effective disinfectants include water over 140◦ F (hotter than most tap water), 2% bleach solution (3 ounces of household bleach mixed with 1 gallon of water), or household cleansers such as Fantastik®, Formula 409®, or Spray Nine® that contain the ingredient alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride. For all materials, follow label instructions and be sure to soak equipment for a minimum of 10 minutes. Dispose of all cleaning/disinfectant solutions away from surface waters in accordance with label restrictions. For additional information, contact your local DEC office.

Anglers and BoatersHelp Stop the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species

and Fish Diseases

Fish diseases such as Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) and invasive species such as the zebra mussel and Eurasian water milfoil can be spread through the use of boating and fishing equipment that has not been properly cleaned, dried or disinfected prior to its use in another waterbody. Help stop the spread of these noxious species and diseases by adhering to the following simple guidelines.

1

3

INSPECT your boat, trailer and other fish-ing and boating equipment and remove all mud, plants and other organisms that might be clinging to it. Never release plants, fish or animals into a body of water, unless they came out of that body of water.

2DRAIN AND DRY everything that came into contact with water. Many aquatic invasive species and fish diseases are microscopic and can be transported in as little as a drop of water. Dry equipment for at least 48 hrs before using it in another waterbody. Dif-ficult to dry gear, may require even longer drying times. Be sure to completely drain your boat, including baitwells and livewells.

Ramp Courtesy

Busy launch ramps can be a source of aggravation and friction between

boaters,aseveryonewantstogetonoroffthewaterassoonaspossible

tobeginorendtheirboatingexcursion.Mostproblemsattherampcanbe

resolved if boaters are courteous to others. Prepare your boat for launching

beforepullingintotheramparea,loadingasmuchofyourgearaspossible

at home or before you launch your boat. Clear the ramp as quickly as

possiblewhenlaunchingorretrievingyourboat,sothenextboatercan

approach. Be careful not to block others from launching if the ramp is

designed to launch more than one boat at a time. The launch site is not the

place to learn how to back your trailer. Practice before you ever get to the

launchramp.Ifthereisaline,waityourturn,patientlyandcheerfully.Offer

to help the boater ahead of you if it appears they need and want the help.

Be a Safe and Courteous Boater

Safe and courteous boaters are aware that their boat can be as dangerous

as the car they drive. They also understand that their actions can impact

others using the body of water they are boating on. Always maintain a safe
