This grant supports the FY 2017 Quagga/Zebra Mussel Action Plan (QZAP), addressing the critical threat posed by Quagga and Zebra Mussels, rapidly expanding aquatic invasive species in the Western United States. These mussels originate significantly from popular recreational reservoirs linked to the lower Colorado River. Their facile dispersal via trailered watercraft enables their spread into previously un-invaded aquatic environments, causing ecological and economic damage. This funding initiative aims to support comprehensive measures designed to prevent further infestation, manage existing populations, and protect vital water resources and infrastructure across the region from the devastating impacts of these invaders. The objective is to preserve native ecosystems and ensure water security.
