Water Users Beware!

Our waterways are under threat from invasive aquatic species.

As a water user, you may unknowingly be helping to spread invasive species from one waterbody to another in equipment, shoes and clothing.


Help stop this happening by following these three simple steps: Check, Clean, Dry.



Check your equipment and clothing for living organisms

Pay particular attention to areas that are damp or hard to inspect



Clean and wash all equipment, footwear and clothes thoroughly

If you do come across any organisms, leave them at the waterbody where you found them



Dry all equipment and clothing: some species can live for several days in damp conditions

Make sure you don't transfer water elsewhere
