Spot:
Don't forget to pick up a 2012 invasive species permit for your kayak!
The price is $7. When I picked up mine, Dick's wanted $20. Turns out they were trying to sell me an out of state motorized ISP.
--- Quote from: bsteves on December 03, 2009, 09:29:17 AM ---Just a reminder, starting January 1st, 2010 all operators of non-motorized boats over 10' long are required to have the new Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit. Pick one up when you get your 2010 fishing license.
What does this mean for those with manually powered boats?
* Non-motorized boat operators (rafts, drift boats, kayaks, canoes, etc.) 10 feet and longer will need to carry and purchase a $7 annual permit ($5 + $2 agent fee), which the boater can use with any manually powered boat. * Permits are required for both residents and nonresidents and are transferable to other non-motorized craft, but every vessel on the water must have a permit. * Non-motorized liveries (rental businesses) will receive a quantity discount. Clubs and organizations can have permits issued in their name. Permits must be purchased directly from the Oregon State Marine Board
Where do I get a permit?
* Permits can be purchased online at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Web site: www.dfw.state.or.us/online_license_sales/index.asp beginning December 1, 2009. * ODFW license agents and ODFW offices that sell licenses, www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/licenses.
Why do motorized boats pay $5 every two years and non-motorized $7 ($5 permit + $2 agent fee) each year?
* Boat registration decals are non-transferrable -they adhere to the bow of the boat. Non-motorized permits are transferrable. * Because this is a new program involving a different segment of boater, a new delivery system will need to be created which carries additional overhead costs. * The surcharge on a motorboat will be automatic, with little overhead. Motorboaters are already paying a certain amount of their registration fees to maintain the registration data infrastructure. * Because ODFW has nearly 500 point of sale agents and an online license sales system, their permit delivery system better serves boaters statewide.

I got mine. I sure wish the money you spend on it actually went to prevent invasive species though :(

If you're curious as to how much money was collected and where it went in 2010 they put out a report...
