Preventing the introduction of aquatic invasive species is the best way to protect NH’s lakes and rivers from out-of-control growth and damage to infrastructure. Aquatic invasive species are a huge problem for lakes in NH with variable milfoil being the primary species. To help keep aquatic invasive species out of your local waterways it is important to work with partners in a coordinated management effort including year-round monitoring. NH Lakes started the Lake Host program in 2002 to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Lake hosts greet boater at more than 100 boat ramps and provide information and education on how to clean, drain and dry your boat between visits to water bodies. Make sure your town boat ramp has a lake host to help protect your local lake from invasive species.
