Confessedly I'm a trailer boater and keep my boats in the dry when not in use, and even though I'm not one for more personal gov't regulation, I can see going after invasive species from people who won't keep their boat clean. Especially after looking at the prop of this boat.

Besides, a clean hull and drive make the boats performance a lot more efficient.

If the proposal was enacted in Illinois, I'd probably vote for it.

If it is the same species, and it looks like it, there's a big market
for them in seafood stores and restaurants. Is someone raising them
locally and commercially in your area?

No they've just appeared in the local catch and the reasonable
conclusion is that they are breeding the local shrimp out of their
habitat....

Uh-oh.

I've had the "questionable species" a couple of times in a couple of the
Vietnamese restaurants we frequent, as appetizer and entree items. The
more usual shrimp seem to be ending up in Vietnamese soup (pho) dishes.
