Salmon Arm Observer – April 26, 2018
A mussel-fouled boat stopped at the Osoyoos border turned out to be a false alarm.
The boat was stopped last weekend after several attached mussels were found, according to the Okanagan WaterWise Facebook page. The boat owner had purchased the boat several years before with the mussels, which were already dead.
The Don’t Move A Mussel initiative, with the Okanagan Basin Water Board, aims to prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from reaching B.C. waters.
