Interesting story about zebra mussels today. The hydro rescue boat was disinfected so that it wouldn't accidentally transport zebra mussels from Detroit or Ohio River into the Columbia. These mussels don't live in the Columbia, but if they're brought in from another river they could clog up the pipes and screens used for juvenile salmon. Could cause the death of salmon and cost BILLIONS of dollars to clean up.
