ID TOOL - Rodent identification and signs of stowaways
Use this handy guide to learn how to identify rodents and their signs. Entrance holes, droppings, nest material and gnaw marks can all help alert you to a rodent on your boat.
Do not land on a seabird island. Never push stowaways overboard dead or alive! Do not assume only one individual stowaway is aboard. Return to the mainland.
Different species have different swimming strengths and this is important information - never throw a stowaway overboard from a boat.
