Rising 30 feet and more above the blue waters of Lake Powell, the gray, crusty band of mussel shells reflects an invasion that has swept through the watery ecosystem practically unimpeded.
Quagga shells, an Asian native brought to North America in the ballast of ships, are cemented to the sandstone walls that cradle the hallmark of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in southern Utah and northern Arizona. Skeletal evidence of the invasion has been revealed by the lake s dropping pool that literally left the invaders high and dry.
In a small handful of years since the species was discovered clinging to boats and dock timbers at the NRA’s Wahweap Marina, the small, sharp-edged shells have become about as ubiquitous as the “bathtub ring” that discolors the ruddy sandstone and reflects the dropping lake level caused by a long-running drought.

California Red-Legged Frogs Breeding In Two SoCal Locations
The Woolsey Fire set a breeding project back, as four streams prior to the fire held breeding adults as well as tadpoles.
June 30, 2021
Populations of the California red-legged frog (
Rana draytonii), a threatened species and the official state frog of the Golden State, were bolstered with the introduction, in 2014, of frog tadpoles into the Santa Monica mountains by U.S. National Park Service biologists. The biologists introduced hundreds of tadpoles into two unnamed streams in the mountains in hopes of getting breeding populations back into the wild.
Those efforts paid off in spite of a fire that destroyed much of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Frogs were discovered breeding in those two undisclosed locations, the first time in 50 years in which the species has been breeding in the wild in that area.
