UW Sea Grant-funded aquatic ecologist Dianna K. Padilla presented a symposium paper in late September at the Seventh Zoological Conference on the Preservation, Investigation and Usage of Biological Diversity of the Belarussian Animal World. The conference was held at the Institute of Zoology of Belarussian Academy of Science in Minsk, Belarus. Her paper was titled "Invasion of exotic aquatic organisms: Whether the process could be predicted and controlled?" Padilla was one of three Americans participating in the international conference.

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.
