Minnesota Boaters Failing To Comply With Invasive Species Rules

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says boaters are violating rules against aquatic invasive species at an unacceptable rate.

Stepped up patrols by the DNR has led to almost 19-hundred citations and warnings being issued in the first month of the State's boating season.

That compares with 850 last year and about 300 in 2010.
