River Invaders:
The Scourge Of Zebra Mussels

Small, remarkable creatures ... far more sophisticated than one can imagine, and perhaps the most threatening of all exotic species that have invaded North American waters. Their numbers are phenomenal ... their spread is rapid ... and in their wake is a trail of death & destruction. 

The message is clear - our rivers and lakes have been invaded, and the problem is critical. But perhaps of even greater concern is whether or not YOU are prepared for the scourge of zebra mussels.

Popular actor of stage and screen.  The Virginian was a long running television series in the 60s.


This half-hour documentary is recommended for public viewing by VIDEO LIBRARIAN with a Three Star Rating in their 1996 September-October issue, and is also recommended as an "excellent resource for cross-curriculum units" in the December 1996 issue of BOOKLIST - two very popular review publications for public libraries, schools and universities.
 
Zebra mussels have already spread as far south as New Orleans, and have been spotted in southern California. They are spreading into areas once thought impenetrable to zebra mussel invasion. There is great concern that they are turning ecosystems upside down, and increasing levels of toxic algae. 

Industrial and recreational water users, especially lake residents and boat owners, should see this documentary.

Zebra mussels often settle in massive colonies and can block raw water intakes, creating havoc on raw water users. As of yet, there is no magic bullet to stop them.

BE PREPARED

Boaters inadvertently transport zebra mussels to inland lakes and reservoirs, and should take precautions before traveling to and from different systems.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS


Unionid Another concern over the zebra mussel invasion is the devastation they have caused to native unionids (freshwater clams). They have wiped out entire populations of unionids that once inhabited the open waters of western Lake Erie, and there are indications that other unionids - some of which are endangered species - will also be extirpated as zebra mussels spread across the country. We must act now before it is too late
