The recent discovery of golden mussels in California's Delta marks a significant risk; these invasive species threaten ecosystems and the state’s crucial water delivery infrastructure.
Any invasive species in our Delta is problematic, and we're going to do everything we can to control its spread,” Steve Gonzalez stated regarding the newly found mussels.
Golden mussels can severely affect water delivery systems, encrusting screens and filters, and clogging pipes, much like the impacts seen with quagga mussels.
The mussels' spread is facilitated by shipping activities, highlighting the need for stringent monitoring to prevent similar ecological disasters in California.
