The South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks Department reports that Big Stone Lake on the Minnesota-South Dakota border is the latest body of water infested with zebra mussels.
Game & Fish Communications Manager Nick Harrington says effective education and outreach is key for slowing the spread of aquatic invasive species, and the department’s Zebra Mussel Rapid Response Team will place high-profile signs on access areas, actively engage boaters using the infested water, and reiterate information on decontamination requirements.
