I completely agree with Mr. Herron's insightful appraisal of the situation. If Lake Powell becomes infested with mussels it will be a disaster of untold proportions and the entire Colorado River ecosystem from Glen Canyon Dam through the Grand Canyon will fall.
So far the mussel interdiction effort has been nothing more than a skunk works, inadequitely funded, understaffed, poorly implemented, and led by part-time people with little expertise in the field of dealing with invasive species.
One would think that a problem of this magnitude would demand full time professional leadership and the total cooperation of state and federal authorities. So far none of that has not been forthcoming.

Ditto Jimmy! We hope you enjoy your visits to Lake Powell and if there's any way we can help, please don't hesitate to ask. Wayne, by the way, is the Lake Powell Director of Fisheries and works for the State of Utah.
Please don't be too eager to judge without knowing any of the history or the facts. We're all here because we love the lake and hopefully you will as well. Peace.
