Vermont Business Magazine The Community Sailing Center (CSC) has announced it is the recipient of the Healthy Ecosystems Grant, which focuses on educating and encouraging the public on the importance of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) prevention. Generously awarded by the Lake Champlain Basin Program/New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), CSC can now install water and electric utilities, build a wash station, and mount signage that clearly directs boaters on the best practices of Aquatic Invasive Species spread prevention.
With guidance from the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP), CSC has the necessary tools to educate and empower recreational users to do their part in stopping the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species. CSC’s new “Clean, Drain, Dry” initiative will be available and accessible to all including those who speak Arabic, French, Nepali, Somali, and Spanish via their website.
