Important Update: Changes to the AIS Stamp for Boaters on Connecticut’s Inland Waters.

Dear Lake, Pond and River Associations and Organizations,

We are pleased to share our latest newsletter article that highlights recent changes to the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) stamp for boaters navigating Connecticut’s inland waters. These updates aim to strengthen the fight against the spread of invasive species, and we want to ensure that all boaters are informed and prepared.

The article provides an overview of the impacts of AIS, how boaters can help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, and changes to the AIS Stamp and how it can be purchased by Connecticut residents and non-residents. We believe this information will be valuable to your organization’s community, and we’d greatly appreciate it if you could share the article through your outreach channels.

Thank you for your commitment to keeping Connecticut’s waters clean and healthy!

Kind regards,
Wendy Flynn
