New guidelines have been released on how to Check, Clean and Dry your boat and gear so you do not spread this or any other invasive species around when you train or compete:<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>If you are only using your boat and gear at ONE location:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Ensure you check and flick off any visible matter like weed, mud or adult clams, and then you are good to go.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If you are paddling at various locations,<\/strong>\u00a0please undertake the Check, Clean and Dry method outlined below before paddling in a new water way:<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">CHECK and flick off any visible matter like weed, mud or adult clams at the lake or river. Drain river or lake water, including removing bungs or opening hatch covers in case there is water in enclosed areas and leave to dry.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">CLEAN it for invasives that are invisible (this can include juvenile clams, algae, fish eggs, weed fragments). Blast your boat inside and out with a hose, using tap-water and onto grass, beside the waterway, at the club or at home (not into a stormwater drain). Blast the paddle as well, especially if it has a split shaft. For absorbent materials, that stay wet longer \u2013 Soak in hot water above 60\u00b0C for at least 1 minute.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">DRY areas inside the boat where water has pooled with an old towel. The outside of the hull dries when towed (see note). Dry to touch and then leave the boat to completely dry for another 48 hours. This will further reduce survival.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.govt.nz\/dmsdocument\/58639-Waikato-update-for-kayakers-and-canoeists\">See full updated guidelines specific for paddlers- Waikato update for kayakers and canoeists (mpi.govt.nz)<\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>Why is the Gold Clam an issue?<\/h3><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">These clams reproduce rapidly and form large populations that can clog water-based infrastructure such as electricity generation plants, irrigation systems, and water treatment plants. They are filter feeders that can potentially compete with native species for food.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">It is not yet known how this species will respond in New Zealand conditions.<br \/>Overseas, the clam has proven damaging and difficult to control. Freshwater gold clams are able to produce up to 70,000 juveniles a year, and able to survive a wide range of temperatures and salinities.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">Preventing the spread to further waterways is the course of action at this stage.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember that awareness is the first step in reducing the impact of the golden clam invasion.
