'Rock Snot': State DNRs Banning Felt-soled Shoes to Prevent Spread of Invasive Species, Disease

Felt-soled boots and waders contribute to the spread of invasive aquatic plant species and disease between bodies of water.

Vermont will institute a ban on felt-soled foot gear beginning April 1. Missouri has scheduled public forums throughout the state on how to prevent the spread of "rock snot," an invasive alga that can disrupt food chains in streams and lakes. Alaska has also banned felt soles. And Maryland is in the process of banning them.

"Rock snot," the common term for Didymosphenia geminata, also known as "didymo," can produce thick mats of algae on the bottoms of streams and lakes, in the process disrupting the life cycle of many insects that trout and other species of fish feed upon.

Didymo has also been found in at least 18 states coast to coast, including New York as early as 2020, Maryland and Oregon. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire have found the alga in their waterways.

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources said in an early press release from 2020 about the algae that didymo's range expansion is largely due to anglers and boaters, and yet sportsmen are also "the most important line of defense in minimizing the spread of aquatic invasive species."

The states have had public-awareness campaigns ongoing to prevent further spread.

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department explained in a recent press release why the focus is on felt: "Aquatic species can be spread in a number of ways, but felt-soled boots are a notable contributor to the problem, particularly with microscopic species that spread through cells and spores. Felt is especially problematic because it is difficult to dry, clean or disinfect. Felt's woven fibers create voids that remain damp for long periods of time, and didymo cells and other small material can penetrate and occupy these voids. Recommended treatments have often been found to be ineffective at disinfecting these spaces."

The Missouri Department of Conservation is trying to be proactive this spring in preventing the spread of didymo, which has been found in the White River just south of the Missouri-Arkansas border. Five public forums have been set in March and April in Missouri.

Missouri's message to anglers and boaters is "Check. Clean. Dry." And it's not limited to cautions about felt soles.

MDC advises that fishermen and boaters remove visible algae from their gear and equipment, but to not dispose of it by putting it down a drain or into bodies of water. They should clean their gear with a solution of two-percent bleach, five-percent saltwater or dishwashing detergent. All equipment and gear should be dried in the sun for at least 48 hours.

Even with these precautions, some experts believe that didymo and other species and diseases cannot be completely eradicated from contaminated felt soles and that is why some states have placed bans on the gear.

"In addition to educating anglers and boaters about the threats of Didymo, we are considering potential regulation changes to prevent the spread of this invasive alga," said Mark VanPatten, a fisheries biologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation in a press release about the forums. "Public input in this process is very important."

Felt soles can spread many invasive species, not just rock snot.

Christopher Evans is the coordinator for the River to River Cooperative Weed Management Area in Southern Illinois. He said that he wasn't aware of any didymo in the southern part of the state.

"I'm all for banning felt soles and have actually mentioned it to the folks in the DNR [Department of Natural Resources] before," Evans said in answer to an e-mailed query. "Felt soles can move Didymo around, but it can also move the free-living stages of zebra mussels and New Zealand mud snails as well as potential diseases like VHS [viral hemorrhagic septicemia]. With the new rubber technologies coming out, felt is not as important for good grip on your wader soles as it used to be."

In addition to VHS, which affects numerous fish species and has been found in the Great Lakes and in Wisconsin waterways, whirling disease, which is fatal to trout and salmon, is another disease that can be spread by felt soles.

The Vermont FWD said that felt can be cut off of boots and that studded sole products can be attached to footwear, and "homemade" studded soles can be made by screwing in half-inch hex-head sheet-metal screws into the soles of rubber boots or waders.
