Quagga mussels

[TopH2O]

The police officer absolutely dropped the ball. It would have taken very little effort to have his dispatcher contact a DWR officer to come to the scene. The officer could have also required the boater to remain at the scene until the DWR officer arrived to investigate and then take appropriate action.

I would have contacted the police officer's department and discussed the matter with a supervisor. It would have allowed the department to become more aware of the mussel problem and assist with control efforts.
