I suggest you read up some more on this but if you choose not to be bothered than please keep it all downstate.
To suggest and I’m sure it was a joke, to introduce a foreign species than introduce a non-native group is absurd.
The least impact and best method to combat this is a bottle of "simple green" spray your waders and boots with a healthy dose when moving from one water shed to another. The other methods of salt, clorax solutions are by far bad,bad,bad .

Status: offline 		tuna, I love my backyard and all outside of what idiot mankind has screwed up naturally.. I remember the days when the first signs on the resis up in catskill were posted about the fish consumption warning etc.. a few years witnessed the zebra mussel warnings and now see this algea snot rock warning.. I doubt very much that my waders be they felt or self cleaning will stop any invasion as sad as it is. I for one will respect gods country and do my part in preventive measures you suggest but honestly doubt it will stop what we are seeing here. especially if those that could care less. And you know the odds are against us who really care. Just enjoy and hope nature in the end adapts to this unfortunite ecological disaster..
