Invasive species threatening local waters
Quagga and Zebra mussels that first invaded North America in the Great Lakes region have also been getting a lot of coverage in the media lately. Quagga mussels were found in the Colorado River in early 2007 and later in several bodies of water in San Diego and Riverside counties. Both of these species of mussels, which are native to Caspian Sea and Black Sea watersheds, are of great concern because of their ability to cause severe damage to the natural environment as well as to power plants and water supply intakes.
Invasive species are having a huge impact on our resources nationwide. Please exercise great care when you are out enjoying the great outdoors and be aware of accidentally transporting these unwanted visitors.
Threat is real for Lake Tahoe
