This webinar discusses recent research examining water properties and treatment efficacy for dreissenid mussels, and examines water temperature, high water conductivity, and the efficacy of carbon dioxide as a treatment method.
This webinar explores the decision-making process leading to manual removal, operational/logistical considerations and constraints, and lessons learned from a past removal effort and an ongoing removal effort.
The Invasive Mussel Collaborative announced today that it has released a new strategy to reduce invasive mussels and their negative impacts. The Strategy to Advance Management of Invasive Zebra and Quagga Mussels is intended to drive investments, policy, and research around invasive mussels across the Great Lakes region and beyond. The spread of zebra and quagga […]
