Idaho treating Snake river to get rid of zebra mussels

[Quillback]

Pretty drastic.

Idaho poisoned Snake River for invasive mussels. Was it worth ‘heartbreaking' loss?

Wow what a read.  Thanks

I think they did  the right thing, there really is no other alternative other than accepting that the invasive ha won. I do wonder if there is an alternative poison that  wouldn't have left overs in the river. It's a shame that native species got killed off too, but those species were doomed already if the invasive multiplied.
