The real cost of inaction
Aquatic invasive species don’t just harm ecosystems and native species – they damage local economies and everyday life.
- Reduce waterfront property values by up to 20%
- 100X more expensive to treat long-term control, cleanup, and economic loss, then prevention
- Reduce tourism, fishing, and aquaculture revenues

Wash

The most effective prevention strategy: wash boats before they launch
Aquatic invasive species spread rapidly, reproduce aggressively, and are nearly impossible to eliminate once established. Ozero provides the only Inside-Out Clean™ washing solutions that stop invasive species before they spread.
The Ozero Station tailored to your municipality
Every municipality has different infrastructure, usage patterns, and enforcement needs. Ozero stations are designed to adapt to your needs:
Let your station pay for itself
Use your boat washing station to fund all the other important projects using the Tap-to-Pay Module. Boaters incur the cost of washing and you recoup your costs.
Some of the most damaging species in Canada (and we stop all of them)
Zebra & Quagga Mussels
Small but devastating freshwater mollusks that reproduce at extreme rates—up to 1 million eggs per female per year—clogging infrastructure and permanently altering ecosystems.
Eurasian Watermilfoil
Forms dense colonies that choke waterways, restrict boating, fishing, and swimming, and degrade water quality.
Spiny Water Flea
A highly invasive zooplankton that disrupts food chains and damages fishing equipment.
European Green Crab
A highly resilient coastal invader that preys on native species, destroys habitat, and releases up to 185,000 eggs once or twice per year.
Not just encourage
Compliance you can prove
Ozero stations don’t rely on trust or signage. They enforce proper washing by design.
- Boaters place same-day certificates on dashboards for parking-lot enforcement
- Water patrols verify certificates during on-lake inspections
- Certificates integrate with access-control gates to restrict ramp entry
