In this episode of the New Mexico Wildlife Podcast, we dive into the essentials of responsible boating and how you can help protect our waters from Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). Join AIS Coordinator James Dominguez from the New Mexico Department of Wildlife and Scott Chambers from New Mexico State Parks as they share expert tips, safety reminders, and real-life examples of what every boater should know before hitting the water.

We talk about the importance of boat inspections, Clean-Drain-Dry practices, boater education, life jacket laws, and how AIS can impact the ecosystems, recreation, and the future of our lakes and rivers.

Whether you're a seasoned boater or just getting started, this episode is packed with vital info to keep your summer safe, legal, and environmentally friendly.
