How can we prevent the spread of the Round Goby?

Here are some basic steps:

Learn to identify the Round Goby

Empty bait buckets, livewells and bilges prior to leaving any water body

Do not use Round Gobies as bait (it is illegal to use or have Round Goby in your possession)

Dispose of unused bait and fish waste in the garbage

Wash all boating and angling equipment prior to leaving any water body

Talk to and inform others about the impacts of the Round Goby and other aquatic invasive species
