Quagga Mussel Intercepted on Sailboat Hull (Mar 10, 2011)
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
An exotic quagga mussel adult was found on a sailboat hull during an inspection conducted at the Dayton Yacht harbor near Flathead Lake on Mar 5. This potential threat of introducing exotic mussels to Flathead Lake was averted thanks to good coordination and communication among AIS workers in Idaho and Montana. The incident illustrates the danger of exotic mussel introductions due to boats being transferred from water to water.

Border Checks Aim to Keep Invasive Species Out of Montana (Jun 8, 2010)
Montana Department of Agriculture.
Boat owners bringing watercraft into Montana may be asked to stop for a brief inspection and possible boat cleaning this summer as part of the cooperative effort, Inspect. Clean. Dry., to keep zebra and quagga mussels and other invasive species out of the state. Montana has four mobile inspection stations that will move among major highway entry points on weekends through Sep 15. In addition, Glacier National Park officials announced that the park implemented a program to reduce the risk of unintentional introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) into park waters. As of Jun 1, 2010, all motorized boats entering the park will be required to obtain a free boat launch permit prior to launching. Motorboat operators will be required to certify that their boat is free of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) to qualify for a permit.
