Answer:
In order to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species like quagga and Zebra mussels, it is necessary that water bodies that are discovered to be infected with mussels are inspected and cleaned according to laid down procedures while those not known to be infected with mussels, should have the boats of new boaters properly inspected.
It is important to heed these and more instructions, in order to enhance the performance of the boats, protect the aquatic environment, save money used in maintaining equipment and ensure compliance with laws that are meant to prevent the spread of quagga and Zebra mussels.
Explanation:
In the introduction to, "Boat Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for All Watercraft Owners," the author lists the benefits of having boats properly inspected and cleaned. He also lists two examples of times when boats might need to be cleaned and the conditions to be met before an inspection can take place. These are the key details of the introduction.
Some benefits attached to having boats cleaned include
- improving the performance of the boat by, for example, reducing gasoline consumption
- preserving fishing and the aquatic environment,
- save the millions of dollars used in generating electricity for equipment maintenance, and
- ensuring compliance with federal laws.
He goes ahead to mention some rivers that are mostly infected with the aquatic invasive species. This information may not be included in the key details.
