This department is offering this grant to support critical efforts in addressing the significant threat posed by invasive quagga and zebra mussels. QZAP outlines comprehensive strategies to combat these species, focusing on preventing further spread, effectively responding to new outbreaks, and managing established infestations across the Western U.S. This grant is for the specific purpose of implementing three highest priority actions identified within QZAP. Approximately $600,000 is available to fund projects that will contribute directly to these urgent conservation goals, safeguarding Western waterways from these destructive aquatic nuisance species.
