Whenever you leave the water, remember to Check, Clean & Dry!
Check your gear after leaving the water for mud, aquatic animals or plant material.
Clean everything thoroughly as soon as you can, paying particular attention to nets, footwear and mats.
Dry everything for as long as possible. Some diseases can survive for two weeks in damp conditions.
ALWAYS allow unhooking mats and nets (spread out) to fully dry in natural daylight so that UV rays can help eradicate the virus if it’s present.
