| 摘要： | In has been found that Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) introductions and infestations have harmed the economy, environment, and public health throughout the United States. AIS infestations threaten the native fish and wildlife resources, usually through an unchecked population growth due to the lack of natural predators or environmental limiters that were present in the AIS historical range, but are not found in the new ecosystem. The AIS outcompete the native fish and wildlife species and this usually results in an alteration of the ecosystem. Many native species are irreversibly harmed or pushed to the brink of extinction with the introduction of these unwanted invaders. It has been documented that one of the primary methods of AIS introduction and spread is by contaminated watercraft that are transported from water body to water body between the states. In 2002, the Washington State Legislature began addressing the issue of interstate travel of AIS contaminated watercraft by passing Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 6553. The legislation in ESSB 6553 required the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Washington State Patrol (WSP) to develop a cooperative plan for inspecting watercraft entering the state in an effort to interdict AIS. This resulted in the development of a Cooperative Boat Inspection Plan which began to provide a framework for the effort of interdicting AIS entering Washington State. |
