According to NHLA statistics, there were 55,924 inspections of boats conducted and 224 "saves" -- when exotic plants were found and removed before a boat entered the water.

Sounds like a pretty good record to me. A few years ago someone spotted
invasive zebra mussels from the Great Lakes on a boat about to be launched in Winnipesaukee. Another good save.
The NH program runs locally on Lake Wentworth in Wolfeboro, Merrymeeting in New Durham and the Suncook Lakes in Barnstead. Most every lake does bi-yearly
WATER QUALITY TESTING through the Volunteer Lake Assessment Program. (VLAP)
Check out their website.... quite interesting.
