In this episode, we will be joined by Jonathan Thompson (California State Lands Commission), Thomas Jabusch (California Department of Fish and Wildlife), Drew Gantner (Solano County Water Agency), and Cara Roderick (California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways). These experts will be talking about the Golden Mussels (GM), the new freshwater invasive mussel for California. We are going to learn about the GM’s natural habitat, when and where it got here and where it is currently found in the state. We are also going to learn about the mussel’s biology, characteristics and its potential environmental and economic impacts. In addition, we will be learning about the state’s efforts to prevent its further spread, and best management practices for water users.
