Invasive Mussel Monitoring and Early Detection

A workshop titled Early Detection of Dreissena Mussels in the West was held 21-22 January in Denver. This 1.5 day meeting immediately preceded a national-level 100th Meridian Initiative meeting (22-23 January) where a comprehensive regional monitoring plan for 2009 was initiated. The ultimate goal for workshop participants was to provide vetted recommendations to the 100th Meridian Initiative regarding the early detection and monitoring of the dreissenid invasion of western waters.
