A consortium of government agencies with a stake in the health of Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino are putting the finishing touches on a mandatory boat inspection strategy they hope will hold off the scourge of invasive mussels already fouling waterways around the state.
The proposed plan, expected to be up and running next spring, will require adjustments and patience on the part of recreational boaters, officials say.
But it’s believed to be the only way to ensure the tiny but destructive shellfish that have infested 30 water bodies in California don’t get a toehold on the North Coast, they said.
