BOISE, Idaho — Members of the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region have approved sending a letter to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Canadian Minister of Fisheries Gail Shea asking for more aggressive measures to contain invasive quagga and zebra mussels once they’ve entered a waterway.

The letter says it’s “absolutely critical” that authorities in both nations work to contain and decontaminate boats exiting Lake Mead in Nevada and other waters infested with the mussels.

The group is a private and public partnership of governments and businesses from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon Territory. READ MORE
