Invasive Species Week: Help stop the spread of destructive zebra mussels

It’s invasive species awareness week! Zebra mussels are a small, destructive invasive species that can spread across Texas by hitching a ride on boats and trailers. They grow to only about 1 ½ inches and develop a distinctive zebra-striped shell. One zebra mussel can produce up to one million microscopic larvae. Zebra mussels can cause tremendous environmental and economic damage – hurting aquatic life, damaging your boat, hindering water recreation and even threatening your water supply. This is why it’s important to do your part and clean, drain and dry your boat after use. Click or tap here to read more about preventing the spread of zebra mussels at texasinvasives.org…
