VIDEO: Invasive mussels found at Dunmore inspection station
MEDICINE HAT, AB —Alberta Environment and Parks are reminding boaters to have their boats inspected after finding an invasive species of mussels on the underside of a boat this weekend.
The mussels were found at the inspection station near Dunmore over the Easter weekend. The mussels have been sent for testing, and the boat is being decontaminated.
“When we decontaminate a boat, this is at no charge to the owner,” said Cindy Sawchuk, the lead on the watercraft inspections and decontamination program with Alberta Environment and Parks.
