The program, according to its website, seems to be a worthwhile effort that has a track record of identifying and helping eliminate invasive species infestation across the State.
HERE is the website that covers this particular program.
At the bottom you can read the instructor guide, the worksheet they use that requires bow number information, and all kinds of different information.
And as LocalRealtor indicated, there are indeed paid positions at the ramps.
I would assume that a call to the Lakes Association would clarify as to why they are tracking bow numbers. The information within the website assures that the information gathered is confidential.
Maybe there is a reader from the Lakes Association here that could shed more light on this particular policy?
By the way, I found the website very informative!
