Which invasive species are affecting your community?
This boating season the BC government has allocated funding for boat inspections at border crossings in order to try to prevent the spread of invasive species over land from one body of water to another. This is an aggressive approach to curbing the problem that is growing in waterways and on land across the country. What do you think about this solution to the spread of invasive species? Too much? Too little? It is a worthwhile read to learn what the government is doing to make sure these boats are clean before moving on and great info to pass along to your clients and customers in terms of proactivity. Send us your thoughts anytime. @BoatIndCan
