Mussel Certification

[dubob]

[quote MasterDaad]I think the test is dumb. The stupid little forms you sign to just go boat are ludicrous.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Hey MD; I couldn't agree more. But it is the law of the land (state) and I do my best to obey the law; so I took the test and I'll display the certificate in my launch vehicle. Just as you probably will.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]But it doesn't really matter how aggressive Utah gets with their program. Just like bucket biologists who think they know better than DWR about stocking fish in Utah waters, there are going to be those that for whatever reason think the AIS program doesn't apply to them. Therefore, the mussels are going to be in every body of water in the state at some point in the future. And until humans can develop an efficient, inexpensive chemical to eradicate the mussels large scale, there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent it. We can delay it for sure. And the more aggressive we get the longer it will take. But it WILL happen eventually.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Take a look at the devastation it has caused in and around the Great Lakes region of Michigan in just the 25 years since 1988 when they were first discovered there. It will take longer here, but it isn't going to be pretty. Sorry for the rant, but don't kid yourself into thinking we can beat this without a scientific breakthrough of a cheap, easily distributed killing agent.[/#800000][/font]
