Clear Lake QZ Prevention Implementation Grant FY 2025-2027

The project will continue to improve the current Lake County Invasive Mussel Prevention Plan by funding another 2 years of boat ramp monitors, provide education, and improve local and state law compliance with persons recreating on Clear Lake. The project will also improve mussel prevention outreach and education via digital, radio, and social media outlets. Lastly, the project will complete the transition and continue maintenance of the digital screening and monitoring of boaters to improve inspection processes. These technologies allow Lake County to connect, in real-time, with other AIS managers using digital systems to track incoming vessels, enhancing the ability to successfully detect a potential mussel introduction more effectively. This project does not involve any construction, building, or alteration of landscapes, lands, or natural features, this is strictly an outreach and education project
