New Mexico Department of Game and Fish has adopted new rules to combat the spread of zebra mussels, quagga mussels and other AIS.

• Mandatory watercraft inspection and, if necessary, decontamination of out-of-state registered watercraft or watercraft re-entering New Mexico
• Mandatory watercraft inspection required any time an inspection station is set up and in operation
• Fourteen (14) day advanced notification of intent to transport watercraft 26 ft. or longer into New Mexico
• All watercraft are required to “pull the plug” and drain watercraft when transporting in New Mexico
• Implementation of a voluntary watercraft seal program to expedite boater access to a waterbody with limited need for inspection
