DWR officers stayed busy over the holiday weekend in the effort to prevent the spread of invasive quagga mussels. “We are excited to have more boaters coming back to enjoy Utah’s waters this year,” shares DWR Lt. Bruce Johnson. “But we want to remind boaters to recreate responsibly, which includes knowing the rules and regulations for not inadvertently transporting aquatic invasive species around Utah…Always be sure to clean, drain and dry your watercraft.” Thousands of inspections were performed and statewide, DWR conservation officers issued 52 citations and warnings for violations of Utah laws. There are over 40 inspection stations throughout Utah, including at entrances to the Uintah Basin.
