**Change in procedure for Lake and River Protection (Preserve Maine Waters) Stickers*

Since 2002, all motorized watercraft operating on Maine’s inland waters are required to display a Lake and River Protection Sticker, which reads: Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers – Preserve Maine Waters. Funds from the sticker are dedicated to helping prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
For watercraft registered in Maine, this sticker is automatically included with the annual registration and is affixed directly to the registration decal.
Owners of watercraft registered outside of Maine must purchase and display a separate sticker before operating on inland waters. The State now requires the sticker to be connected to the out of state boat registration.
