Kent Turner, Chief of Resources Management at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, said that input from the recreational diving community will be invaluable in determining the extent of mussel infestation in the Colorado River basin. If we receive a quagga report from scuba divers, we can use our limited diving resources to make an assessment of the extent of the infestation Turner adds. Divers will also find descriptive data and photographs on the 100th Meridian webpage where a clear distinction is made quagga/zebra mussels and the less troublesome Asian clam, a similar freshwater species.
