MONTANA — Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Program Watercraft Inspection stations across the state opened last week, specifically the one on U.S. Hwy 93 in Ronan, which is open seven days a week, 12 hours per day.

“The AIS Program has changed dramatically since last field season with most of our inspection stations this year being located either close to border crossings or on major travel route,” said Eileen Ryce, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. “If you have any questions please either contact me directly at (406) 444-2448, or the primary AIS staff contact for a particular station.”
