New regs got you stressed? 😮‍💨
Bio-Lure = rust anode + mussel protection.

Colored zone = larvae can’t settle. 3cm later = normal water. No chemicals. 10-min install.

Protect your boat + our lakes.

*New boat regulations got you down?*
You’re not alone. New rules mean boats can’t carry invasive species across lakes + coasts anymore.

This colorful glow is the fix. Right at the anode, water gets a tiny pH bump. Larvae hit it and can’t settle. 3cm later, pH is back to normal.

That’s “Halt the Hitchhiker” — compliance without the headaches.

Bio-Lure solves it with tech you already have.
We adapt the sacrificial anodes you install for rust protection. The colored zone in this image shows where water becomes locally alkaline for a split second. Larvae entering can’t attach or survive. A few centimeters later, water is back to normal.

No chemicals dumped in the water. No hull scrubbing every weekend. Add it during your next anode swap — 10-minute retrofit.

That’s compliance without the headache.
_Patent Pending. Conceptual overview shown._

Aquatic invasive mussels that can hitch a ride in a small amount of trapped water are prompting a new national competition aimed at stopping their spread — and

Halt the Hitchhiker: Invasive Species Challenge. The Bureau of Reclamation's innovation prize competition hosted and managed by yet2.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's "Halt the Hitchhiker: Invasive Species Challenge" offers up to $200,000 in prizes for innovative solutions to stop aquatic invasive mussels quagga, zebra, and especially the recently detected golden mussels from spreading via residual water in boat ballast compartments. Golden mussels, first found in California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in 2024, pose a growing threat due to their hardiness and ability to clog infrastructure, disrupt ecosystems, and cost billions in damages. Current hot-water decontamination methods are effective but too slow for high volumes, creating urgency for faster, safer, scalable alternatives that kill, exclude, or inactivate invaders without harming boats, people, or the environment.

The three-phase competition (concepts due around late May 2026) is open to U.S.-based individuals and teams from any field. Phase 1 awards up to six $25k concept prizes, with later stages funding pitches and prototypes (top prize up to $125k). This targets practical innovations for new boats, retrofits, or inspection stations to protect California's waterways before the invasion worsens.
