Columbus, Neb. – Summer activities will soon be underway and with people getting back out to their favorite lake spots, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) wants boaters to remember safe boating practices and the importance of stopping the spread of invasive species.
Invasive species, such as zebra mussels, can very easily be spread from one pond or lake to another if boat owners don’t make sure all the water has been emptied out of their boat at each location it’s used.

The Chinese giant says it will offer 67.5p per share, a 45% premium to the close yesterday and valuing AIM-listed Bacanora at £259mln, including shares to be issued through a recent placing. Ganfeng already has a 29% stake in Bacanora and also a 50% stake in Sonora, the junior miner’s lithium deposit in Mexico.
