Flotilla 2-4 General Information

Invasive Species

The USCG Auxiliary has an important job to inform the general public about all aspects of marine safety to include invasive species such as the Zebra Mussel and Water Chestnut.  It is important to ensure your vessel is clean after removing it from any waterway so that these invasive species are not spread to other lakes, rivers, canals, and waterways.
