Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)

Funds extending an invasive-mussel risk model to guide inspection stations in Washington and California.

ClosedU.S. Department of the InteriorUnited States

Invasive mussels spread mostly by hitching a ride on boats, so the fight against them is partly a logistics problem: where do you put inspection stations so they actually catch the boats that matter? This notice funds building a better answer to that question.

The work extends a risk-assessment model already built for the Missouri and Columbia river basins, adding a road-network layer so it accouโ€ฆ

Extending an existing invasive quagga and zebra mussel risk-assessment model to include a road-network layer for Washington State, and building a matching risk model for golden mussels in California, to target where watercraft inspection and decontamination stations and "clean-drain-dry" campaigns do the most good. Done through a California CESU partnership across three USGS science centers.
