NEW!  Preventing Zebra Mussels from entering Lake Pulaski.

Boaters and lakeshore property owners must do everything possible to learn about this invasive species and take every action possible to help. If Lake Pulaski becomes infested we will no longer have the privilege to pump when the water is high.  Many Minnesota recreational lakes have been or soon will be infested with this non-native aquatic invasive species. Some popular Minnesota lakes currently infested with zebra mussels include: Minnetonka, Pelican, Le Homme Dieu, Fish Lake, Prior lake, Gull lake and Mille Lacs. To find out more about this aquatic invasive species and our fight to prevent it, visit the newly created Zebra Mussels page on this website where photos, information, and links to recent news articles will be archived.

The LID Board members, in conjunction with volunteers from around the lake, are working with the City of Buffalo on ways that we can monitor and educate boaters launching their boats from the Griffing Park landing.  At this point we have been handing out informational fliers and speaking with boat owners at the landing to make sure they are aware of the negative impact zebra mussels and other AIS would have on the lake and the fish population. We are hoping to have a sign posted at the landing soon that would identify infested lakes and provide guidance and restrictions if a boat has been in any of those lakes prior to launching in Lake Pulaski. We will need more volunteers to help at the landing so if you are interested in giving some time please contact us through the website email at lid@lakepulaski.com or reach out to a board member directly.

 

 

New required aquatic invasive species rules decal for boaters now available 3/30/2012

A new required decal is now available for Minnesota boaters to help remind them of the state's aquatic invasive species laws, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today. The decals are available for no charge and will also be included in envelopes with new and renewal watercraft licenses mailed from the DNR.

 The decal should be attached to all types of watercraft including canoes, kayaks and duckboats before launching on, entering into, or operating on any Minnesota waters.

 

There are two parts to the decal. Watercraft owners and operators must display the top portion of the decal on all watercraft prior to launching on, entering into, or operating on any waters of Minnesota.

The second portion of the decal is intended to be placed on the winch post of watercraft trailers or in another area to remind boaters to remove the boat's drain plug when leaving a water access area as required by state law. It also reminds boaters to replace the plug before launching. This decal is not required by law. There is no penalty in effect, but conservation officers can issue a warning for not displaying the decal. After Aug. 1, 2014, it will be a petty misdemeanor for boaters who fail to display the decal on their watercraft.
