Wisconsin and Minnesota aren't doing anything that I'm aware of. And no ban on felt soled boots.
Maryland was the first state to ban felt-soled waders. We've been working out the kinks so far, but I think it's a fair measure.
Colorado has rolled didymo into the awuatic nuisance species program along with Zebra and Quaga mussels and eurasian water millefoil. Controls are mostly voluntary except on major bodies of water. There is a good public education program in place. No bans on felt-soled waders, yet, although it's probably coming.
Sorry, aquatiuc nuisance species, not awuatic. Basically it's an invasive species control program.
This will be the firs year they have a ban on felt. Trout parks also have "cleaning stations" to scrub the bottom of your boots.
Not sure how they will keep this enforced, or what fines and penalties will be for violations. Here in MO didymo has been rolled into the same cluster as zebra muscles and other invasive species. I guess unlike Colorado we don't have any public education programs, that I know of.
What kinks have you noticed in Maryland jakenbake?
Do what ever is necessary to prevent an invasive species before it becomes a problem. Here in Ohio we let blue green algae take over our biggest inland lake (Grand Lake at ST.Maries). Millions of dollars have been spent to control it but nothing yet to eradicate it. Now Lake Erie (the walleye capital of the world) is fighting it. All caused by field run off containing phosphorous into our streams.
