How can you prevent transporting nuisance species with your vessel from one waterway to another?

  1. Paint the boat with anti-fouling paint

  2. Remove any zebra mussels you find before leaving the body of water

  3. Only boat in one waterway

  4. Dry the boat with a towel

The correct answer is: Remove any zebra mussels you find before leaving the body of water

This is the best option because zebra mussels are a common nuisance species that can easily attach themselves to boats while in the water. Using anti-fouling paint (option A) may prevent some species from attaching to the boat, but it is not as effective as physically removing any existing zebra mussels. Choosing to only boat in one waterway (option C) may seem like a solution, but it is unrealistic and not a practical solution for most people. Drying the boat with a towel (option D) can help, but it may not remove all zebra mussels and is not as effective as physically removing them. Therefore, option B is the best choice for preventing the transportation of nuisance species with your vessel.
