Clean, Drain and Dry Your Boat


Clean, drain and dry your boat to prevent the spread of 
zebra mussels in Texas lakes. Nonnative zebra mussels can 
wipe out native species, and clog municipal drains and 
pipes, costing millions of dollars in repairs and untold 
damage to the environment. Ten Texas lakes are fully 
infested, and another five are positive for zebra mussels. 
Clean, drain and dry your boat whenever you move it from 
one water body to another. Find information about 
preventing the spread of zebra mussels in Texas on the 
Texas Parks and Wildlife website.
