Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Stamp

​Do you operate a power boat or personal watercraft in Connecticut?
Please double check your registration and decals!
The Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) stamp used to be included in your vessel registration, but as of last Fall it now must be purchased SEPARATELY through DEEP’s Sportsmen Licensing System. This stamp is required of ANY person operating a registered power boat or personal watercraft on Connecticut inland waters, whether the vessel is from in or out of state, and is valid for the calendar year in which it is purchased.
If you're unsure of your boat's status, need to replace or update your current AIS stamp or registration, or just want to know more, check out CT DEEP's AIS Stamp flyer here: https://bit.ly/45XRE4q
The flyer also has CT DEEP's contact information if you have any questions.
Please help prevent the spread of aquatic invasives by maintaining your AIS stamp and sharing this post so other boaters are aware! Your registration fees go to a competitive state grant fund for controlling the spread of AIS, conducting research on Connecticut’s lakes, rivers, and ponds, and enhancing public awareness. We love our lakes, and want you to be able to enjoy them too!
Thank you for protecting and preserving Connecticut's beautiful waters.
