AIS inspectors told these uninvited, invasive guests that they weren’t welcome at our 4th of July celebrations!

Thanks to our amazing AIS check station team in Dillon, another mussel-fouled boat has been successfully intercepted before reaching Montana waters!

This vessel was intercepted two days after it was launched in Lake Mead. The watercraft was headed to Whitefish, Montana, to be launched for a boat show. The inspection station team found attached adult and numerous settler mussels.

Remember to Clean, Drain, Dry, and help us protect Montana’s waters!
