• 1. [Article] Middle Columbia River Aquatic Nuisance Species Survey

  Aquatic nonindigenous species (ANS) in the middle Columbia and lower Snake rivers were surveyed during the summer of 2006. The project area included eight reservoirs and the free-flowing, Hanford Reach ...

The project area included eight reservoirs and the free-flowing, Hanford Reach on the Columbia River. We also conducted a literature review to create a complete list of ANS for the study area.

• 2. [Article] Oregon Dreissenid Mussel: Rapid Response Plan

  In 2007, both zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) were found to have established populations west of the Rocky Mountains. The risk posed to the Pacific ...

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon Dreissenid Mussel: Rapid Response Plan Author: Draheim, Robyn, Boatner, Rick, Dolphin, Glenn, DeBruyckere, Lisa Year: 2013 In 2007, both zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) were found to have established populations west of the Rocky Mountains. The risk posed to the Pacific Northwest by the proximity of these new infestations is significant. This plan was developed in response to the increasing likelihood of the successful transport and introduction of these species into the State of Oregon and Pacific Northwest. Although prevention remains the most cost-effective means of addressing potential infestations of aquatic invasive species, if prevention efforts fail, the State of Oregon must be prepared to respond rapidly and effectively to minimize environmental and economic impacts and reduce the risk of spread. The purpose of this plan is to protect Oregon’s waters, aquatic resources, and facilities from the deleterious effects of Dreissenid mussel establishment. This plan serves as a guidance document for natural resource managers to plan for and provide a rapid response effort to a Dreissenid mussel infestation in Oregon waters. This plan is intended to complement the Columbia River Basin Interagency Invasive Species Response Plan: Zebra Mussels and Other Dreissena Species drafted by the Columbia River Basin 100th Meridian Team as well as provide stand-alone guidance should mussels be found in Oregon but outside of the Columbia River Basin. This plan applies to all Dreissenid mussels, although the current focus is on zebra and quagga mussels. Many of the strategies listed herein can be applied to rapid response efforts for other aquatic invasive species (AIS) of concern.
