I just got this in an email from Point Roberts Marina...
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) now requires operators of certain aircraft and watercraft, as well as commercial transporters of specified vessel types, to purchase permits to help the department's efforts in preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS).
Those required to buy the new AIS prevention permit include:
Out-of-state recreational registered boaters
Seaplane operators
Commercial transporters of watercraft
The permit is valid for one year from its activation date and is available for purchase online Instructions are found below.
Funds generated from the $24 fee support the department's efforts to keep Washington's waters free of aquatic invasive species and manage infestations when prevention fails. Permit sales are expected to generate approximately $412,000 annually in revenue by 2021.
Exceptions: Washington residents, who register their watercraft, automatically pay an annual fee to support the department's AIS program when registering their boats. A valid registration sticker serves as proof of payment and an AIS prevention permit is not required.
Step by Step Process for purchasing online AIS Permit ($24)
1) Go to wdfw.wa.gov website and at the top of the page, hover on the “Licensing & Permits” tab
2) The first item down under that tab is “Online Licensing Sales”– CLICK this tab
3) You’ll now be on a page with a big box at right for WSDFW fishing/hunting license purchasers to go in, type in their ID, access their account, etc. Do NOT use that
– go to the box immediately to the left Called “Shop for products that don’t require a customer account” –CLICK that box
4) You’ll now be on a page that lists “Product Categories” and gives you three choices (including Discover Pass) –CLICK on the one labeled “Other”
5) You will now be on the page that lets you purchase the AIS Permit for one
of three categories (Commercial Transporter, Out - of -State, Seaplane)
-
– Tenants who have vessels licensed and registers in Canada should CLICK on the “add” tab for “Non-Resident Registered Vessel”. Then click on the orange square in the top right hand corner which will take you to the “Checkout”.
