Description

The Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program was established by the Oregon Legislature in an effort to keep Oregon lakes, rivers and streams free of destructive invasive species. ODFW and the Oregon State Marine Board manage the program and Oregon State Police and Oregon County Sheriffs handle enforcement of the law.

Registered motorboat owners do not need to buy a permit; a fee is automatically included in boat registration. Current registration decals are proof of payment. Non-resident motorboat requires permits.
