NV Aquatic Invasive Species Decal
The NV AIS decal requirement was established in 2011 to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic species threatening Nevada’s waterways.
California Exemptions: ONLY registered vessels are exempt from the purchase of Nevada’s AIS decal for the interstate waters of Lake Tahoe and Topaz Lake. Exemptions DO NOT APPLY to non-registered vessels such as canoes, kayaks, and other paddle craft vessels that are capable of retaining water. Click here for details.
