And The Winner Is...
Back in the summer we teamed up with Defra to promote their
new Check-Clean-Dry campaign, which aims to stop the spread of
aquatic non-native invasive species (NNIS). Aquatic NNIS cost the
UK economy £102million every year to clean up and what’s more they
can unfortunately spread around the coast by hitching a ride on our
boats.
But there are measures that boaters
can take to reduce this spread and so we launched a joint
competition at the PSP Southampton Boat to raise awareness of the
problem and explain how to avoid spreading these marine
nasties.
Up for grabs was a Panasonic Lumix
FT3 underwater camera and the first person drawn out of the hat for
correctly answering the question “What are the three steps to stop
the spread of non-native invasive species?” was Nicola Burgess from
Cheshire.
And the answer was of course
Check-Clean-Dry Well done Nicola!
