Right now its a major issue in California. Apparently some mussels are
spreading across the South and have now taken up in SoCal. Many in
central/northern California are very worried about it. Some lakes just
have signs about avoiding certain lakes and not putting your boat in a
strange lake unless its been out of the water for 30 days. Some
places, like Clearlake, have made it a criminal offense to put
anything in the water that has not been issued an official seal by an
inspector.

Hmmmm. More and more, when I read these sorts on things, I wonder...
did we, or the europeans, outlaw a method of control for "environmental"
reasons?

Just a little more food for thought.
