California Department of Fish and Wildlife from Sacramento, CA, USA, CC BY 2.0In the vastness of the second-deepest lake in the United States, a tiny snail is posing a threat of"concerning" proportions. The invasive New Zealand mud snail has been discovered in Lake Tahoe.
The announcement of the discovery was made by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the Tahoe Resource Conservation District. "It is critical that everyone remain vigilant and adhere to the mantra of Clean, Drain and Dry," Regan said in a statement."Every boater, paddler and angler shares the responsibility to protect Lake Tahoe's native species and the waters we enjoy."
Like many aquatic invasive species"without natural predators or controls, they can out-compete native species and harm ecosystem functions," the agencies said in the release.
