Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers Pledge

I want to do my part to protect the waters where I recreate and any waters that I might visit. I pledge to abide by the following each time I visit a body of water.

• Remove any visible mud, plants, fish or animals before transporting equipment.
• Drain water from equipment before transporting
• Clean and dry anything that came in contact with water (Boats, trailers, equipment, clothing, dogs, etc.)

Take the Pledge!
