Task Force Fact Sheet

From May, 1996 (Update #27)

A well-run zebra mussel preparedness program can save time and money, particularly in areas where zebra mussels have yet to be detected. That's one of the conclusions of "Organizing A Zebra Mussel Task Force," a new fact sheet produced by North Carolina Sea Grant. Written by Sea Grant Water Quality Specialist Barbara Doll, the fact sheet discusses the benefits of forming a zebra mussel task force, describes various roles they have taken, gives tips on organization, and supplies the phone numbers and addresses of task forces in the United States.

The Zebra Mussel Update was a 4- to 8-page quarterly national newsletter published by the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute from May 1990 through May 1997. The ZMU documented the spread of the zebra mussel -- an exotic nuisance mussel -- through North America's freshwater environments, especially the Great Lakes, and on efforts to control it.
