§ 6303 Deleterious Aquatic Species Removal

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can decide if certain fish, frogs, or water plants are bad for other water life.
  • •If they are bad, the government can make the owner get rid of them.
  • •The owner can choose to move them out of the state instead of destroying them, but they have to do it fast.

Example

You have a pond with a type of fish that eats all the other fish and plants.

The government can tell you to remove those fish because they hurt the pond. You can either destroy them or move them to another state quickly.
