I agree with manning stations 24/7. Utah residence are paying annually $10 fee when we register our vessels. Wyoming & Idaho does same thing plus they have a nonresident fee of $30 to put their decal on your boat and our state doesn't, this is only one sided. Utah likes the no brainer online test for educating boaters where you have to pass to get a certificate or just fill out the daily on site certification at launch ramp. Education works for some but others either don't have a clue of the importance of prevention or more likely just don't give a damn. With 3 boat inspections revealing AIS makes one wonder how many have slipped by with potential infestation. With the quarantine of these boats at the residence(assuming Utah residence?) what is the follow up of these boats going thru quarantine period? Does DNR make a driveby at these residence checking that the quarantine is still in place? How do they insure the boat doesn't get used during the quarantine period? When crossing state lines such as Wyoming they install a cable with a tag. This should be the route DNR follows if quarantine at residence.
