Description

Invasive mussels coat a boat entering Oregon on a trailer. Wildlife surveyors have just found the first quagga mussel in Oregon water, kicking off an intense response including sampling and surveillance.

Oregon wildlife surveyors found a single dead adult quagga mussel on the shoreline of Prineville Reservoir earlier this month, raising alarm about the highly invasive species capable of causing catastrophic damage to boats and dams while threatening fish and other aquatic life.
