A one-day summit meeting on the invasion of zebra mussels will be held this Thursday in Yankton.

Mike Greiner, aquatic invasive species coordinator for the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks Department, says they want to bring together different groups impacted by the spread of the zebra mussel…

The zebra mussels spread rapidly in infected waters and attach themselves to almost any solid structure.

Greiner says the damage spreads beyond just boats and docks…

Greiner says any attempts at control will take more than just state agencies..

The summit will be held Thursday, 9AM to 5PM, at the Best Western Kelly Inn in Yankton.
