...Wardens will check boats at landings during the Fourth of July holiday to enforce the law. They also will hand out information about aquatic invasive species and show people how to clean their boats before they launch them or as they leave the water, Stark said.

..."It doesn't mean that when these critters get into a lake it is the end of the world, but it does cause some serious recreation problems, some ecosystem consequences and frankly costs a lot of local lake associations literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in terms of management," Bode said.
