Attention: #BritishColumbia peoples.
The invasive #GoldenMussel has been found in California & we need to keep our eyes open for them appearing on our beaches & shorelines.
These can easily grip on to cargo ships & transported without anyone noticing, into BC waters. They got to North America via attaching on cargo ships.
Please read about them & learn to identify them. Report to DFO & your local marine authorities, if you spot them anywhere in BC.
Please boost to get this info out to more folks in BC & PNW areas. Our BC Government won't tell citizens until it's too late - as usual.
Thanks to everyone boosting this important marine invasive species issue!!!
Why is this important?
These mussels eat up all the phytoplankton that all of our native bivalves need to survive. They take over our native shellfish habitats. When they invade, they starve our native shellfish to death.
@FtRupertTed Please keep your eyes open & alert your community too 
@PhoenixSerenity
Can....can I eat them? I do love a good mollusc
@TanekRune Yes, eat them! Report before you eat them. Kill their babies if you see any. I don't usually advocate for killing babies but we need to kill the fast breeding invasive golden mussel babies.
@PhoenixSerenity
I volunteer as tribute, but I'm on the wrong coast. Either way, will keep a lookout and share
@TanekRune Please inform any/all Westcoast friends!
@PhoenixSerenity @TanekRune Just watch out for red tide
