Inland River Monitoring Funded

From July 26, 1991 (update #9)

CARTERVILLE, Ill. -- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently received funds for implementing an inland rivers monitoring program, according to Chuck Surprenant of the USFWS Fisheries Assistance Office here. Surprenant is interested in making contact with other individuals monitoring for zebra mussels in inland river systems, in part to avoid duplicating existing efforts. He is particularly interested in covering the Upper Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois and Ohio rivers. If you are looking for zebra mussels in these river systems, please contact Surprenant at:

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.
