Lake Sonoma Quagga and Zebra Mussel Inspection Project

Quagga and zebra mussels are invasive mussel species that, if introduced into a waterway, can devastate the natural environment, clog water and flood protection infrastructure, and cost millions of dollars in maintenance. These mussels are transported between waterways by watercraft, primarily recreational boats. The project would provide watercraft inspection services to prevent quagga and zebra mussel infestation into Lake Sonoma. The project would also provide inspection training to help develop year-round inspections.
