Of course, the
tourists will be coming to celebrate the bicentennial of the Lewis &
Clark expedition. The sojourn out follows the route from St. Louis on the
Missouri River on over the Continental Divide and eventually to the Snake and
Columbia Rivers. It’s expected that many tourists will be trailering boats as
they make the trek from the zebra mussel-infested waters of the east to the
uninfested waters of the west. Of course, zebra mussels latch onto boats,
trailers, and aquatic plants, so this is an effective way to introduce zebra
mussels into the west. The 100th Meridian Initiative definitely
wants to prevent this from occurring.
