ANS Boat Interdictions

Zebra and Quagga Mussels

Invasive mussels are being transported on watercraft!
Colorado Parks and Wildlife coordinates a broad multijurisdictional watercraft inspection and decontamination
network to protect waters from invasive zebra and quagga
mussels and other invasive species. Recreational watercraft
is the main vector of introduction for this harmful invader.
Colorado is a headwater state and there are no mussels
upstream. State certified inspectors repeatedly intercept
watercraft infested with mussels.
A total of 281 boats with attached adult zebra or quagga
mussels have been intercepted coming into Colorado’s
waters from out of state at watercraft inspection and

decontamination stations. The infested watercraft were
intercepted at Barr Lake, Blue Mesa, Boulder Marine, Boulder
Reservoir, Boyd Lake, Canon Marine, Carter, Cherry Creek,
Chatfield, Clear Creek, Crawford, Denver CPW Office,
Dillon, Electra Lake, Eleven Mile, Frisco Bay Marina, Granby,
Grand Lake, Grand Junction CPW Office, Great Lakes
Marine, Green Mountain, Highline, Horsetooth, Jackson,
John Martin, Lathrop, McPhee, Navajo, North Sterling,
Pueblo, Ridgway, Rifle Gap, Roadside (SW Colorado),
Ruedi, Shadow Mountain, Spinney Mountain, Stagecoach,
Steamboat Lake, Strontia Springs, Sweitzer, Taylor Park,
Trinidad, Turquoise, Vallecito and Williams Fork.

�ZEBRA MUSSELS

Where are the infested mussel boats coming from?
It is often difficult to determine the exact location of infestation
due to the frequency of boating use. Also, numerous
interceptions are used boat purchases in which the previous
boating history is not known. For these reasons, the source
of infestation for more than twenty interdicted watercraft is

unknown. The remainder of the infested vessels were coming
from Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York,
Nevada (Lake Mead), Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Utah (Lake Powell), Wisconsin, and the Great Lakes.
