In this episode of Wildly Curious (formerly For the Love of Nature), co-host Katy Reiss speaks with hydrologic technician Jeff Seevers about the growing problem of zebra mussels in Texas lakes. Jeff explains how these invasive species, first introduced in the 1980s, have drastically impacted ecosystems by attaching to hard substrates, competing for resources, and threatening native species. Tune in to learn more about the methods scientists are using to monitor zebra mussel populations and what boaters can do to help prevent their spread.
