Great News for Columbia Shuswap Watersheds: No invasive mussels detected in 2018!

• Fresh water bodies are not only vital for recreation and tourism, but are also an integral part of the economy in our region. 
• Protecting infrastructure and native ecosystems from the negative impacts of aquatic invasive species is a priority.

CSISS also provided a variety of aquatic-related outreach in the 2018 field season:

• Visited 51 Marinas and 22 Boat launches
• Completed 113 boater surveys
