Reid: Discovery of New Species at Lake Tahoe Highlights the Need for Restoration Bill (Jun 4, 2010)
Senator Harry Reid.
Senator Harry Reid issued a statement saying that the recent discovery of the New Zealand Mudsnail at a Lake Tahoe Basin inspection station demonstrates the need for the passage of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act. The legislation (S. 2724) represents a partnership between the federal government, Nevada, and California that will ensure funding for habitat management programs including aquatic invasive species prevention, storm water management, watershed restoration, Lahontan Cutthroat trout reintroduction, and hazardous fuels reduction.

New Zealand Mudsnails the Latest Invasive Species Detected at Lake Tahoe Basin (May 29, 2010)
Tahoe Daily Tribune.
A new aquatic invasive species has surfaced at Lake Tahoe, the New Zealand mud snail. Unlike zebra and quagga mussels, mud snails do not affect water infrastructure and cling to boat engines. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is stepping up inspections of boats at Lake Tahoe in an effort to keep aquatic invasive species out of it. See Protect Your Boat, Protect Lake Tahoe for watercraft inspection information.

Study: Invasive Mussels Can Survive in Tahoe's Water (Aug 9, 2009)
University of Nevada, Reno. College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources.
Researchers have found that quagga mussels can survive and possibly reproduce in Lake Tahoe. A new study suggests that low calcium levels in Tahoe's waters, once hoped to act as a barrier against establishment of the mussels, may not offer sufficient protection against them.
