The US Government is offering this grant to address the critical issue of quagga and zebra mussel containment in the Western United States. This grant is specifically for projects aimed at preventing the further spread of these invasive species from already infested areas, such as the Lower Colorado River. The primary purpose is to fund initiatives that ensure boats trailered from contaminated waters do not carry mussels to new, unaffected locations. Approximately $900,000 in federal funds is available for a limited number of projects in fiscal year 2013, supporting vital efforts to protect Western water ecosystems.
