More INFORMATION:  ZEBRA MUSSELS, an aquatic invasive species (AIS), were recently discovered on Lake Riley. These MUSSELS LIVE IN DENSE CLUSTERS AND CAN SPREAD QUICKLY. They attach to docks, boats, rocks, logs, and other surfaces in the lake, and can create threats to recreation and to the stability of a lake ecosystem. While many local lakes have ZEBRA MUSSELS, this is the first lake within the RILEY PURGATORY BLUFF CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT where they have been spotted. Questions? Contact Maya at mswope@rpbcwd.org.
