Aquatic invasive species control apparatuses and methods for watercraft
Wakeboats that include an aquatic invasive species control apparatus are provided. These wakeboats can include: a wakeboat with a hull; at least one throughhull fitting in the hull of the wakeboat; an irradiation chamber in fluid communication with the at least one throughhull fitting, the irradiation chamber having a radiation source; and at least one water destination aboard the wakeboat. Methods for irradiating invasive aquatic species aboard a wakeboat are also provided. The methods can include: receiving water from outside the wakeboat hull; and irradiating water aboard the wakeboat prior to discharging the water.

Jewelry organizer
A jewelry display has a ferromagnetic planar substrate having a front surface opposite a back surface. A wall attachment mechanism is attached to the back surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. The wall attachment mechanism is configured to attach the ferromagnetic planar substrate to a substantially vertical surface, such a wall. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture has at least one permanent magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. At least one of the plurality of jewelry fixtures is a ring holding structure, a bracelet holding structure, an earring holding structure, a necklace holding structure, a watch holding structure, a bowl structure or a shelf structure.
Swimming board
A swimming board having a buoyant board body having an upper surface defining, with a continuous body sidewall, a channel recessed into the board body and disposed proximal to the second end of the board body and having a strap fastening assembly coupled to the board body and with a groin strap and a waist strap that define apertures for receiving a user's legs and retaining the user to the board body.

Drag-inducing mat for amusement park rides
A drag-inducing mat includes a main body configured to accommodate a rider. The main body includes a rider surface configured to face the rider and an opposing surface configured to face a slide surface. The drag-inducing mat also includes a sipe array defined within the opposing surface. The sipe array includes a plurality of sipes that extends from a first lateral edge of the main body to a second lateral edge of the main body to selectively induce friction between the main body and the slide surface based on force applied to the sipe array by the rider.
