[D28] Lake Powell Zebra/Quagga Mussels Alert

[Schloemanb at aol.com]

The Western Lakes are facing the threat of the Zebra and Quagga  muscles.  If 
you plan to take your boat to Lake Powell you can do a few  things in advance 
to avoid any delay in launching.
 
Every boater on Lake Powell MUST be aware of and  conform with the boat 
cleanliness requirements now in effect and being  enforced by the National Park 
Service BEFORE
launching their boat.  Below are links to the discussion of the  problem and 
what you need to do to certify your boat.

An additional note: It would be a good idea to decontaminate the  boat 
trailer as well.
