Summary of STOP Zebra mussel operations, 2024 Espace
Efforts to control the zebra mussel population in Lake Massawippi showed a decrease compared to the previous year. Results from a third consecutive year of data collection indicate the rate at which zebra mussels can colonize the lake if control efforts are not maintained.
Lake water quality assessment (2020-2024)
Each year, Bleu Massawippi samples the lake’s water to assess its quality based on various parameters and to ensure year-to-year monitoring. This report provides a detailed overview of the changes observed in the lake’s water quality over a five-year period. This physicochemical monitoring yields valuable data on several key parameters.
Summary of STOP Zebra mussel operations, 2023Espace
Controlling the zebra mussel population in Lake Massawippi remains the focus of Bleu Massawippi's operations for 2023. With studies and results encouraging our continued efforts, this review sets the table for our spring and summer 2024 efforts.
Summary of STOP Zebra mussels operations (French version only)
The detection of the zebra mussel in Lake Memphremagog in 2017 led to the implementation of a tight detection protocol in Lake Massawippi and the reinforcement of preventive measures on a regional scale. These actions have postponed its arrival in Lake Massawippi by more than 4 years.
