Flotilla 2-4 General Information
Invasive Species
The USCG Auxiliary has an important job to inform the General Public of Marine Safety to include invasive species such as the Zebra Mussel and Water Chestnut. It is important to ensure your vessel is clean after removing it from any waterway so that these invasive species are not spread to other lakes, rivers, canals, and waterways.
