Inspection stations are open around the province to look for invasive zebra and quagga mussels hitching a ride on boats to prevent them from coming into B.C.’s waterways.
From now until late October, B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS) inspectors will check for aquatic invasive species as part of the Province’s Invasive Mussel Defence Program.
The Province said inspectors will also educate people on the importance of preventative steps that all boaters should practice when moving between lakes and rivers.
