Summary
| Description |
Scientists from NCCOS’ Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment, Office of Coast Survey, and NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory collect zebra mussels attached to rocks in Lake Erie for NCCOS’ Mussel Watch Program. Since 1986, NOAA’s Mussel Watch has consistently studied and monitored 300 sites around the country for over 100 organic and inorganic pollutants in sediments, oysters, and mussels. NOAA relies on this fundamental data set at a national scale to report the success of declining contaminant levels and to call attention to new contamination problems. The collection site in this picture is one of the first Mussel Watch sites established in 1992 in the Great Lakes near Peach Orchard Point South Bass Island.
