Wyoming AIS Inspector Public Training in Spearfish

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is offering a training for members of the public to become a certified Wyoming aquatic invasive species (AIS) inspector. This training will be led by Game and Fish personnel and held at the boat dealer Recstation.net in Spearfish. The training will provide the skills necessary to inspect personally-owned and other watercraft as well.

The training includes information on basic biology of invasive species, the impacts of AIS, transport vectors and distribution of AIS. It includes classroom instruction, a question-and-answer session and a hands-on watercraft inspection exercise. The training is free and open to anyone interested in preventing the spread of AIS through watercraft inspection.

Aquatic invasive species can be aquatic animals such as zebra and quagga mussels or rusty crayfish, or aquatic vegetation such as hydrilla.

Trainings are offered as a one-day course from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
