Adding to the nation's inflation, it has been announced that boating fees at Grand Teton National Park will be hiked in February. 

According to the Billings Gazette: 

Boaters in Grand Teton National Park will see an increase in the cost of an annual park boat permit to $25 for non-motorized boats and $75 for motorized boats starting in February.

Boat permit fees help offset the costs associated with waterway patrols and priority aquatic invasive species (AIS) inspections and education.

Aquatic invasive species are marine organisms that have spread or been introduced outside their native range. AIS are a growing risk for national park resources and cause tremendous harm to the environment, economy and public health.
