Grand Teton National Park reminds boaters on AIS

May 16, 2023 by Cecily Ross

Grand Teton National Park is reminding local residents and visitors about their responsibility to help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Before launching their watercraft in park waters, boaters and anglers must drain, clean, and dry their vessels and fishing gear. The park is collaborating with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to provide education, inspections, and monitoring to prevent AIS from spreading throughout Wyoming.
To ensure compliance, all watercraft, including motorized and non-motorized vessels like canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and inflatables, must be inspected by an authorized AIS inspector before entering Wyoming waters, including Grand Teton National Park. Inspection stations are available in Moose, near the post office, and Moran, north of the Moran Entrance Station. These stations will operate daily from May 20 to September 10, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Dirty or water-filled watercraft will require a more thorough inspection and possibly decontamination. Park boat inspectors will issue an inspection verification card upon completion of the inspection. Frequent visitors are encouraged to carry this card to expedite future inspections.
Aquatic invasive species pose significant economic, recreational, and ecological threats. They can cause extensive damage to boats, marina infrastructure, and hydro-power facilities, leading to costly repairs and maintenance. By ensuring proper draining, cleaning, and drying of boats and gear, boaters and anglers can prevent the introduction of non-native species and protect the park’s delicate ecosystem.
For more information on boating in Grand Teton National Park, including regulations and permits, please visit the park’s website.
