Meet the Collaborative
Founded by the U.S. Geological Survey, Great Lakes Commission, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the Invasive Mussel Collaborative seeks to accomplish its mission through engagement with a broad network of stakeholders. The Collaborative’s membership base includes 36 different federal, state, provincial, and tribal agencies, non-government groups, research institutions, private industries, and others.
Collaborative Members
The Invasive Mussel Collaborative represents a diverse group of stakeholders, from the Great Lakes region and beyond, with a vested interest in invasive mussel control, management, and research. Members are individuals uniquely positioned to provide feedback on current management approaches and efforts, research activities and needs, available resources, and related efforts to help advance invasive mussel control.
