OUR MISSION

At the Lake County Zebra Mussel Foundation, our mission is to safeguard our local ecosystems by raising awareness about the proliferation of invasive species, particularly zebra mussels, and their detrimental impact on our waters. Through proactive education initiatives and diligent tracking efforts, we strive to empower our community with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize, prevent, and mitigate the threat posed by invasive species. By fostering a culture of environmental stewardship and collaboration, we aim to preserve the ecological balance of our lakes and rivers for generations to come.

The above video showcases how we track zebra mussel data at the Lake County Zebra Mussel Foundation. From deploying measurement devices to spotting signs of infestation, we're on it. We weigh and track results from every lake we monitor, ensuring we stay ahead in the fight against these invaders. Join us in protecting our waters!
