Wildlife officers decontaminated about 150 boats from Friday to Monday.
It’s an effort to prevent spreading quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species from Lake Powell and out-of-state reservoirs to Utah’s waterbodies.

Utah has more than 40 inspection stations at various boat ramps, along highways and at ports of entry across the state.
