Composite relative risk indices for dreissenid mussel introductions in the Missouri River Basin: scripts and output
June 17, 2025
This data product develops a composite relative risk index (CRR) for watersheds within the Missouri River Basin, a region in the U.S. on the front line of dreissenid spread. The CRR is developed using datasets in order to account for the direct and indirect damages from a potential infestation along with the risk of an infestation occurring with a HUC10 watershed. Included are indices calculated on a Missouri River Basin-wide scale, and indices calculated on an individual state basis. This dataset includes the code used to build the CRR dataset and generated geospatial output.

The spread of non-native freshwater mussels in North America is a growing threat that has already resulted in substantial ecological and economic damage to infested areas. A primary vector by which invasive mussels spread is watercraft that are transported over land from an infested waterbody to an uninfested waterbody. Management efforts such as watercraft inspection and detection...
