The Chautauqua Lake Association’s Watercraft Steward AIS Spread Prevention Program reports show a significant increase across the board in total surveys, interactions and boats monitored by stewards in 2020.

The full reports are available to the public at ChautauquaLakeAssociation.org

From May through September 2020, stewards were active Friday through Monday at public launches on Chautauqua Lake, Cassadaga Lake and at two Lake Erie harbors.

There were 19,650 boats and 39,528 people seen by stewards in 2020, an increase of 9,753 boats and 19,727 people from 2019. Long Point was the busiest Chautauqua Lake launch in 2020 with 2,822 boats. Bemus and Mayville followed close behind with 2,390 and 2,385 boats respectively.

The report shows that 85% of boaters took prevention measures and 99% of boaters agreed to an inspection of their vessel. Additionally, 81% had previous contact with a steward.
