You may or may not have heard about the "troubles" here in North
Carolina. Our state senate has just introduced a budget bill that has
this language: "The Commission shall also assess strategies for use of
freshwater mussel species in impaired water bodies in the State,
including Jordan and Falls Lakes."
There is no further information on what species they're thinking about,
but I wouldn't put it past them to throw zebra mussels into our
reservoirs rather than deal with the issues of our urbanizing watersheds.
Cray-cray down here.
