What would I do? Thank you for that question!
For Ontario.
Mandatory flush of ballast from ocean vessels coming up the Great Lakes. Fresh water ballast from clean water area such as pressurized pipe from uncontaminated water. Not take in ballast water from the ship that just dumped beside you.
At each lock, if ship took on ballast from waters below lock, then repeat process as above.
Locks must have something in place to prevent travel of invasive species.
Want money? These big companies should be flipping a few bucks to clean up our waters. Not always coming down to me and you to be paying to clean it up.
Anglers must wash inside and outside of boat between water bodies.
I have been fishing a long time. I have yet to see an invasive minnow type in my bait whether I bought it or trapped it.
Smelts. How did they get here?
ruffe and goby. How did they get here?
zebra mussels. How did they get here?
smallmouth bass. How did they get here?
They did not get here from an anglers bait bucket.
