Aquatic Invasive Species are organisms that live in the water and are able to take over the habitat due to rapid growth and few natural checks on their expansion. With the greatest chance of new infestations resulting from “hitchhiking” plant fragments carried on boats and trailers, the CBI Program is recognized by the State of Maine as the primary prevention effort against Aquatic Invasive Species.
Last year, CBIs statewide completed over 85,000 courtesy boat inspections at public boat launch sites on more than 100 of Maine’s 6,000 lakes. Since 2003, Watershed Friends’ paid and volunteer CBIs have completed over 180,000 inspections, including over 13,000 last year alone at ten different boat launch sites within the Cobbossee Watershed.

The hourly pay starts at $15.50, and shifts range from 6 to 10 hours (depending on preference) and will all occur during daylight hours. Courtesy Boat Inspectors must possess a positive attitude to educate the boating public regarding the threats of Aquatic Invasive Species and promote Watershed Friends' mission, programs, and events as appropriate. The position is ideally suited for high school and college students, retirees, and those looking for part-time weekend work. Training is provided and no prior experience is required.
Skills & Attributes Required for the Position:
● High comfort level with greeting the public and communicating with a positive attitude.
