New PA fishing and boating regulations aim to combat invasive aquatic species
Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are plants and animals that have been introduced into new ecosystems and have environmental, recreational, economic or health impacts. As have seen in Twin Lakes, these invaders like Curly-leaf pond weed may compete with native species of plants and ruin our recreational use of the lakes. Anglers and boaters may have unknowingly introduced this AIS into new waters.
Do not transport any plants, fish or other aquatic life from one body of water to another. Do not release unused bait into the Lake waters you are fishing. Dump unused bait in a trash can.
Help reduce the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species by following these simple steps:
Check
Drain
