I like what they do out in the Midwest - like WI and MI and MN. At a
lot of boat launches, they have rinse grates where you can pull your
boat, trailer prior to launch and after launch - the waste water is
contained and any weeds stay there for later recovery. I think that
might be a good program for some of the larger lakes in the NE.


If only that had happened before zebra mussels got out of hand around
here...


From what we learned on our great norther circle vacation a few years
ago the zebra mussels in the St. Lawrence enable the water to be cleaned
in 3 days versus the 30 days before it was unintentionally introduced.
