#DYK that aquatic invasive species can spread by hitching a ride on your boat? That’s why it’s always important to inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat before moving it between waterbodies: www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/know-before-... #InvSpWk

Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity in Canada. They can spread through recreational boating, release of live bait, movement of firewood, and many other pathways. Learn how to prevent the spread: www.invadingspecies.com/pathways/ #InvSpWk
