Aquatic Invasive Species Spread Prevention 2020 Annual Report released Boater numbers up and invasive species numbers down PAUL SMITHS, N.Y.—Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) released its Annual Stewardship Program for the 2020 boating season.

The publication summarizes data on aquatic invasive species (AIS) spread prevention and highlights achievements from the previous summer field season.

The report, which can be found on adkwatershed.org/ publications, states that six species of aquatic invasive species were found on boats in the Adirondacks in 2020, none of which were new to the region.

“The most commonly found plant species pulled off boats and trailers was Eurasian watermilfoil and the most commonly found animal species was Zebra mussel,” said Dan Kelting, AWI’s executive director and author of the report.

AWI operates the regional Adirondack Aquatic Invasive Species Spread Prevention Program which relies on voluntary compliance of the boating public to meet the Clean, Drain, Dry standard required by New York State’s regulation to stop the spread of aquatic

invasive species. AWI deploys seasonal stewards to inspect and decontaminate watercraft and equipment at popular or high risk launches and along travel corridors across northern New York. Stewards inspect and wash boats, model appropriate AIS prevention steps, and provide education and encouragement for boater self-adoption of Clean, Drain, and Dry. In 2020 AWI boat launch stewards reported a 25 percent increase in boats and boaters compared to the previous three years. However, fewer invasive species were found on boats than in past years and decontamination numbers were up in 2020.

The report states that AIS were more frequently found on boats leaving water bodies than on launching boats. The majority of AIS finds were at Lake Champlain launches followed by Chateaugay Lake and Second Pond on the Saranac Lake chain.

“More and more boaters each year agree to have their boats inspected by one of our stewards,” said Eric Paul, director of AWI’s stewardship program. “In fact

Based in Willsboro, New York since 1953, Imerys (formerly NYCO) was the first company in the world to commercially mine and market the mineral Wollastonite.

The company has built a reputation as a strong steward to the environment and the communities it calls home. www.imerys.com • 518-963-2100 18- Adirondack Traveler & Fall Outdoor Guide 2021

96 percent of motorized boats and 98 percent of nonmotorized boats encountered in 2020 were inspected.”

The busiest decontamination station in the AWI network is the Adirondacks Welcome Center which washed 538 boats in 2020.

“Boats arriving at the Welcome Center on I-87 northbound are high risk,” said Kelting. “Boaters who stop here tend to come from waterbodies known to harbor AIS, have visible AIS on the boat or trailer, or have standing water.”

The report states that not all boats pose a risk. AWI stewards found that more than half of the boaters they interacted with in 2020 launch their boat into the same waterbody or have their boats out of the water for more than two weeks, significantly lowering the risk of AIS transport. However, stewards treat each boater interaction with precaution.

“We distribute our inspection and decontamination stations strategically across the region,” said Kelting.

“The risk of AIS introduction is higher in the intePool!

rior lakes where organisms can be more easily spread from lake to lake and therefore, you’ll see our stewards at relatively small launches. We also prioritize large, busy launches that may attract boaters from other areas, like the Finger Lakes or the Great Lakes, which can serve as sources of new AIS in the region.”

The report states that AWI employs more than 100 seasonal technicians to operate 51 boat-inspection and 29 decontamination stations across northern Continued page 24

Aquatic Invasive Species Continued from page 23 New York.

“Working across this large landscape allows us to maintain consistent messaging and a level of customer service necessary to support regional spread prevention,” said Paul.

The report is based on real-time data collected at the launches to record invasive species catches, to log the number of boaters at the launches, and to learn where boats come from before they visit Adirondack lakes. The data are part of a statewide database that helps New York State track invasive species and allocate resources to the highest priority areas across the state. Detailed reports for each individual location can also be found on AWI’s website.

The mission of the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute is to protect clean water, conserve habitat and support the health and well-being of the people in the Adirondacks through science, collaboration, and real-world experiences for students.

Learn to Fish Responsibly

Warm weather has arrived, and the welcoming temperatures are once again beckoning people to the great outdoors. Fishing is a popular warm weather pastime, and it’s important to take an environmentally responsible approach when fishing.

People of different cultures have fished sustainably for decades, and most anyone can follow their guidelines – and some others – to help keep our waters healthy.

Disturb wildlife as little as possible. When traveling into delicate ecosystems, such as those that primarily surround the water’s edge, do so with care. Operating a boat in shallow regions can chop up underwater vegetation or harm fish that live in the shallows. Don’t remove crustaceans or take plants or other wildlife out of the area.

Keep track of gear. Discarded or lost fishing gear can prove harmful to wildlife. It’s easy for fish or other marine animals to get tangled in fishing line and hooks that were left behind by fishermen. Sinkers and other weights may be mistaken for food and injure unsuspecting animals. Even animals like ducks and other birds can swallow fishing tackle, which can lead to illness or starvation. Don’t just abandon gear.

Catching and releasing fish. While a fresh fish dinner represents the ideal conclusion to a fishing trip for many people, an increasing number of anglers prefer to return their catch to the water. Anglers do this so as to minimize depletion of a favorite fishery.

Releasing larger game and panfish back to the water helps ensure that these mature, healthy fish can spawn again, and helps to perpetuate a fit population of quality size fish for future angling enjoyment.

Fish specific species at different times. Fishing specific species helps maintain different stocks of fish at various times of the year. Plus, you’ll help guarantee that one species will not be over-fished, potentially

leading to underpopulation or extinction.

Responsible fishing can help maintain water ecosystems and protect the surrounding environment.

DEC Adopts New Rules for Deer and Bear Hunting New State Regulations Create Special Antlerless Deer Season, Extend Hunting Hours, Improve Hunter Safety New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced today that DEC has adopted new rules for deer and bear hunting in New York. Rule changes include extending hunting hours and dress code requirements when afield to improve hunter safety.

"New York has a long and proud tradition of deer and bear hunting and with these new rules, DEC is building on that tradition by expanding opportunities for hunters, increasing antlerless harvest where needed, and improving hunter safety," Commissioner Seggos said. "I am confident that the rule changes announced today will provide hunters with a better all-around experience while ensuring their safety. In addition, these actions bring New York in line with the common practices of states and provinces across North America."

DEC announced the proposed changes in June 2021,

after adopting the updated New York State Deer Management Plan. After careful review of the public comments received on the proposed changes, DEC adopted the rules as proposed. A summary of the public comments received and DEC's response is available on the DEC website and in the latest issue of the New York State Register (leaves DEC's website).

The adopted changes: Establish a nine-day season for antlerless deer in mid-September (Sept. 11 - 19, 2021) using firearms in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 3M, 3R, 8A, 8F, 8G, 8J, 8N, 9A, and 9F, and using bowhunting equipment in WMUs 1C, 3S, 4J, and 8C. Management objectives in these units are either to decrease the deer population or maintain a stable population, and increased antlerless harvest is needed to achieve these objectives. Objectives are based on public input and assessments of deer impacts to forests. Hunters may only use Deer Management Permits (DMPs) and Deer Management Assistance Permit (DMAP) tags in this season;

The management objective for these units is to maintain a stable population and the deer population in these units has grown aided by a series of mild winters and prior restrictions on antlerless harvest; Extend the hunting hours for deer and bear to include the full period of ambient light from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. All other states allow deer hunting beginning one-half hour before sunrise or earlier, or specify daylight hours, and 46 of 50 states allow deer hunting until some period (mostly one-half hour) after sunset. This change conforms to the national standard for big game hunting; Require anyone hunting big game with a firearm, or accompanying someone hunting big game with a firearm, to wear a solid or patterned fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink hat, vest, or jacket. Most two-party hunting-related shooting incidents in New York involve a hunter victim who was not wearing fluorescent orange or pink clothing. Similar fluorescent orange requirements exist in most states; Simplify bear hunting season in the Adirondack region by extending regular season to cover the entire hunting period; and

Remove outdated language related to deer tag use during the September portion of the early bowhunting season.

Our Story - Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is a nonprofit organization, begun in 2009, which creates and maintains hiking and cross-country ski trails in the Champlain Valley that link communities, connect people with nature, and promote economic vitality. In its short history, CATS has developed 42 miles of trails.

Some of those trails will be part of a 30-mile trail loop between Westport and Essex. CATS is working to create trails that make it possible for people to “Hike the Lake” by walking from hamlet-to-hamlet. CATS longterm plans include extending the trail system to neighboring towns around Lake Champlain and eventually connecting them to trails in the Adirondack Mountains, Vermont, and Quebec.

Enjoyment of CATS’ trails depends on conserving the Valley’s scenic vistas, natural areas, farms, businesses, and communities. The CATS Board recognized this and formed The Champlain Valley Conservation Partnership Project (CVCP) as a program for CATS to protect farms, forests, and clean water, promote local farming, sustainable forestry, and historic hamlets, and develop outdoor education and outdoor recreation-based tourism initiatives. Thus, CATS focuses on trails and through its CVCP program, it conserves land, increases understanding of nature, promotes outdoor recreation, and enhances economic vitality.

The Champlain Valley is a beautiful landscape of farms, forests, low mountains, charming hamlets, and breathtaking views. Unfortunately, the Valley has little public land and few hiking trails which combine to limit the economic benefits and pleasures of outdoor recreation. CATS – CVCP is addressing this problem by developing trails, conserving land, and promoting tourism, local farms, and businesses.

UPPER SARANAC LAKE the largest of the Saranacs, offers 37 miles of shoreline and stirring views of the distant High Peaks, as well as 20 primitive campsites available on a first come basis. The numerous ponds to the west of the lake are ideal for short paddles, or as starting points for longer trips into the Saranacs.

NOTE: The 87 campsites on Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes comprise the Saranac Lake Island State Campground, maintained by the New York State DEC. All sites are accessible by boat only, and there is a fee for camping on these sites. Reservations may be made via the internet at ReserveAmerica.com. Or by Calling 800/456-2267.

MIDDLE SARANAC LAKE features numerous islands and some of the finest natural beaches in the area. Paddle north to Weller Pond, a lovely and secluded wilderness pond. There are five campsites on Weller Pond and twenty on Middle Saranac, both on islands and on the shore.

LOWER SARANAC LAKE is our favorite for family day trips, with numerous access points and convenient boat and canoe rentals. Given its proximity to the village of Saranac Lake downtown is one mile from Ampersand Bay, the Lower Lake is ideal for easy day tripping. One popular trip begins in Lower Saranac, continues down the Saranac River, through Oseetah Lake and Lake Flower to the boat launch downtown. For overnight excursions, there are over 55 campsites located on the islands and on shore.
