First spotted in 2024, these filter-feeders are spreading through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta—with a recent discovery at Sacramento’s deepwater port marking the northernmost point. Unable to swim upstream, they rely on human activity to spread, which is why officials are urging boaters to “clean, drain, dry” before moving between waters. To stem the tide, lawmakers approved $7.5 million for five new decontamination stations around the Delta, designed to inspect gear and stop the mussels from hitching rides to lakes like Tahoe and Berryessa. These resilient invaders not only disrupt native food chains but also cause costly infrastructure damage through bio-fouling.
