Decontaminating boat invasive species

What's the best way to clean my boat to ensure that invasive species like Asian clam and zebra mussel aren't carried over in other bodies of water?

Has anyone had any dealings with Asian clam, they're the most troublesome ones apparently...

A good deal of information here and likely the best people to ask the question to directly.
