Lake Havasu Marine Association Awarded Grant to Fight Invasive Species

That's all nice and good. I haven't seen any sticker program or anything related to mussels from the LHMA and I live in Havasu and take out of Windsor ramps 1-5 days a week year round. But will that not change anything, they can try and do whatever but it is just a matter of time when other lakes get infected with mussels, Lake Powell is a perfect example of that. You would have to be living in a cave for not knowing what you need to do to stop spreading the mussel's but a lot of boaters don't really care or are just ignorant as most are with no wake areas. The inspection station east of Needles in I-40 has been closed since June, I haven't gone that way since July and it was all closed up then and I'm sure it still is closed. Sorry just being realistic. I don't put much stock in the US Fish and Wildlife or LHMA. The best thing that LHMA ever did was the trash bags around the Lake. Sorry but to me that is 25 grand down the toilet and another example of what the US Fish and Wildlife should have done years ago instead of giving tickets to boaters for being to loud going thru Topock Gorge.

I agree Slacker, it sounds like $25,500 of "feel good" stickers will be printed with nothing real to solve the problem.

The Marina has signs up all around, "Don't move a Mussel".....but other than that I haven't heard or seen anything else.
