SLCA participates in Zebra Mussel monitoring program

13 Aug 2025 3:39 PM | Anonymous

The Steenburg Lake Community Association is participating in a new Zebra Mussel Monitoring Program introduced this week by Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA).

The pilot program runs from June-September annually and monitors the presence of zebra mussels within the CVCA watershed. The idea is to discover hot spots, determine high risk areas, allow for quicker control response, and improve resource allocations.

Volunteers - like the SLCA - receive settling plates which are hung in the water and monitored for the presence of zebra mussels. We check the plate every 2-3 weeks and report our findings.

We will keep you posted on the results.
