Anglers, Boaters Reminded to ‘Clean Your Gear!’ to Prevent Spread of Aquatic Invasive SpeciesHARRISBURG, Pa. – With the recent discovery that the invasive aquatic alga known as didymo or “rock snot” has spread further down the Delaware River, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is reminding anglers and boaters that cleaning their gear is the easiest, most effective means of preventing the alga from spreading to other waters.The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) last week confirmed that on April 18 one of their biologists discovered large didymo blooms over a 40-mile stretch of the Delaware River extending from the area near the confluence with the Lackawaxen River (river mile 279) downstream to the vicinity of Dingmans Ferry Bridge (river mile 239).
