We are excited to share an update on our zebra mussel public awareness campaign. This year's campaign launched Monday, May 21, in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and at other targeted locations. 

We continue to deal with spread of zebra mussels to new water bodies and face the challenge of potential spread from even more infested lakes. We are getting the word out to boaters about the critical role they play in preventing the spread by utilizing the following paid media: billboards, gas station posters, gas station floor mats, online advertising (Facebook, Instagram, geo-targeted mobile ads) and Pandora digital radio. We are also continuing our use of "The Protect the Lakes You Love" messaging, as studies have shown it to be very effective in resonating with lake users. As always, we thank you for your invaluable support and urge you to share the word to stop the spread of zebra mussels. It's up to you to protect the lakes you love!

Be sure to remove all vegetation, mud, and debris from your watercraft and anchor. It’s illegal for anyone to possess or transport prohibited aquatic invasive species.
