"Speaking of invasive species, shouldn't we be looking for a way to eradicate them, as it seems like only a matter of time before they spread."
[#0000FF]You mean...like politicians?
Problem with quagga mussels is that once they get in a waterway it is virtually impossible to either control them or eradicate them. Lots of eastern lakes have tried. And the lakes along the Colorado River system too. They spawn continuously and take hold on any wet surface. STD of the sea.
But the extra dollars on our license fee is to help pay for the extra checking on non-infected waters, and to pay for decontamination on craft leaving waters that already have them. That is expensive. Especially if you are not likely to be a part of the problem...like tubers and tooners.
