Editor's Note

From June 5, 1992 (update #13)

The upcoming summer will provide im-portant new information on the spread of zebra mussels into Wisconsin waters. The UW Sea Grant Institute will continue to analyze harbor, water intake and substrate samples in Wisconsin waters of Lake Michigan north of Sheboygan and Wisconsin waters of Lake Superior. The institute will expand monitoring in the Lower Fox River and Lake Winnebago, and continue analyzing substrate and some water intake samples in Lake Michigan waters south of Sheboygan. UW Sea Grant will also continue to work with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) in providing training for individuals conducting monitoring efforts on Wisconsin's inland lakes and rivers, and Sea Grant will continue its statewide zebra mussel educational efforts.

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.
