LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The Sierra Club Lake Group will feature a presentation on invasive mussels at its upcoming meeting on Wednesday, May 17.

The group will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Lower Lake Methodist Church social hall, 16255 Second St.

As always, the meeting is free and the public is invited.

Mark Miller, who coordinates the Lake County Department of Water Resources mussel prevention program, will discuss the measures being taken to strengthen protections against invasive mussels, measures that go beyond outreach to include both decontamination facilities and a crew of dock walkers.

An infestation of invasive quagga or zebra mussels would be just as devastating to the ecology of Clear Lake and the economy of Lake County as ever, but the subject seems to have fallen beneath the radar for the last couple of years.

That does not mean that the county has forgotten about this threat, much less reduced its vigilance.
