Online boater-led check-in/check-out alternative to in-person inspections: A COVID-19 response pilot

Due to the high cost of high pressure, heated water decontamination, reducing the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) often relies upon the adoption of best management practices at the individual level. This is especially needed during a pandemic. This presentation will outline a pilot project in Minnesota in adopting a digital alternative to in-person inspections. In addition, the presentation will go over the biological efficacy for doing so.
