Quagga Mussel Spotted in Oregon Waters
Description
Dead quagga mussels—Oregon’s first confirmed sighting—have everyone on high alert at Prineville Reservoir. Though water tests came back clean, officials are treating this as a major threat, mobilizing federal and local partners to act fast. These invasive pests can cripple infrastructure, displace native species, and ruin recreation. Already costing Idaho millions and wiping out ancient sturgeon, they’re a growing nightmare. Oregon’s fish and wildlife department is ramping up inspections and urging boaters to check in at state inspection stations to prevent further spread.
