A sample rendering of Luke Ritzdorf’s model results show boat travel routes to and from Canyon Ferry and Tiber reservoirs. “More boats should travel over the redder areas of the map, so inspection stations placed there would be able to intercept and clean more boats, helping to prevent mussel spread,” Ritzdorf said. Evidence of invasive mussel larvae was detected in Tiber Reservoir in 2016 <a href="http://fwp.mt.gov/news/newsReleases/ais/nr_0090.html">according to</a> Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and a three-year quarantine was put on Canyon Ferry due to a suspect sample, which may be lifted this year.
