The Maine watercraft registration, has been required since 2002 for all motorized watercraft on inland waters. The McWain Pond Association encourages boat owners to register their boats at the Waterford town office which includes the invasive plants program sticker. The proceeds from this sticker is what is paying for the staff that is checking boats across the state. It is important to support this program to limit the risk of seeing one of these invasive plants in our pond.
