Reply to: Zebra Mussels!

[quote=arch]This is a 'heads up' for anyone who doesn't know about zebra mussels that are quickly invading the lakes across the U.S. It is suspected that they hitched a ride on a cargo ship coming from somewhere oversees and were released into the waters of the Great Lakes via bilge water. here is a shore photo from a lake in Kansas that I visited last fall: [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/64069794@N03/8392071151/in/set-72157632554935958/lightbox/[/url] After sailing in 'infected' waters, it is imperative that we thoroughly wash our boats before moving to lakes where there are no mussels. I just discovered this threat less than 2 yrs ago and thought I would let you all know. See the interactive map below and click on the years at the top to see how they are migrating, mostly on boats.
