Our Environment
As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace
of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the
natural environment by keeping waterways clean.
Foreign Species
If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly
introduce a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next.
Thoroughly clean the boat and trailer below the water line, remove
all weeds and algae, and drain the bilge and ballast tanks before
launching the boat in a new body of water.
Fuel/Oil Spillage
The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the
environment and is dangerous to wildlife. DO NOT discharge or
dispose of fuel, oil or other chemicals into the water; it is prohibited
and you can be fined. These are two common, accidental types of
discharge:
• Overfilling the fuel tanks
• Pumping contaminated bilge water
Section 1
Correct Craft, Inc.
Fire or explosion hazard from fumes
accumulating from rags being stored in bilge area. DO
NOT store rags used to wipe up fuel or solvent spills in
the boat. Dispose of rags properly ashore.
