One thing Pelican wants to make you aware of is the proliferation of invasive species in waterways.
It is a species, such as a plant, an animal or a microorganism which has been introduced into an environment outside its natural range.
These species can degrade habitats, natural environments beneficial to humans and harm other species. Their presence can also impact other activities related to waterways.
Nautical craft can carry invasive species and contribute to their proliferation by transporting them from one contaminated water source to another. This is why it is necessary to limit their proliferation by cleaning your boat in the right way before and after each use.
You can do a more thorough cleaning once you get home using lukewarm water and a mild soap. After scrubbing with soap, rinse your kayak well with cold water, making sure to leave no soap residue.
Cleaning boats and equipment remains the best way to fight against the proliferation of invasive species by preventing the contamination of a healthy environment by an invaded environment.
