## Caption

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! 

It only takes 2-3 years for zebra mussels to significantly populate a body of water. They reduce the amount of food available for other native species and alter water chemistry. 
 
Help us prevent the spread by cleaning, draining and drying your boat before moving it to a new body of water.
