Koochiching County is worried Minnesota and Ontario aren't working closer enough to protect the area's border waters from invasive species.Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources will conduct boat inspections on its side of the Rainy Lake and Rainy River this year.
Koochiching County Commissioner Wade Paveleck says it should be a joint effort with Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources.
Paveleck says agencies on both sides of the border have worked together on other initiatives, but nothing related to invasive species.
