Invasive plants and animals can harm the marine environment and wildlife, damage boats, and foul hulls, pontoons, and other hard surfaces. They can be small and hard to spot so are easily spread on damp equipment and clothing.


Protect the marine environment and sport you enjoy by keeping your kit free of invasive plants and animals.

Check boats, equipment and clothing after


leaving the water for fouling or plant material. Remove anything you find and put it in the bin. Reapply anti-fouling annually.


Clean everything thoroughly with freshwater as soon as you can, paying attention to ropes, bilges, trailers, and areas that are damp and hard to access. Wash your anchor and chain before leaving an anchorage.


Dry - drain water from every part of your trailer and boat, including the bilge, before leaving the site. Dry everything for as long as you can before using elsewhere.
