A cost-benefit analysis of preventative management for zebra and quagga mussels in the Colorado-Big Thompson System A cost-benefit analysis of preventative management for zebra and quagga mussels in the Colorado-Big Thompson System
Zebra and quagga mussels are fresh water invaders that have the potential to cause severe ecological and economic damage. It is estimated that mussels cause $1 billion dollars per year in damages to water infrastructure and industries in the United States (Pimentel et al., 2004).
