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!

I have made the STOP AQUATIC HITCHIKERS Pledge.
I will encourage my friends to make the pledge.

Please add me to the STOP AQUATIC HITCHHIKER email updates.
