Statewide, ISDA's quagga mussel monitoring program is in full swing.
Brian O'Connell, RTÉ Radio 1 reporter
Lake Oroville in Northern California's Butte County is one of the state's most important reservoirs. It's part of a state-spanning system that delivers water to 27 million people and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland. Now officials are working to keep an invader out of the reservoir -- a freshwater bivalve mollusk called the golden mussel.

In this episode, we will be joined by Jonathan Thompson (California State Lands Commission), Thomas Jabusch (California Department of Fish and Wildlife), Drew Gantner (Solano County Water Agency), and Cara Roderick (California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways). These experts will be talking about the Golden Mussels (GM), the new freshwater invasive mussel for California. We are going to learn about the GM's natural habitat, when and where it got here and where it is currently found in the state. We are also going to learn about the mussel's biology, characteristics and its potential environmental and economic impacts. In addition, we will be learning about the state's efforts to prevent its further spread, and best management practices for water users.

Wild blue mussels have all but disappeared from New England's coastline, a reality that's been hard for people who harvest them for a living. Plus, Catholic Vermonters remember Pope Francis, who died Monday, Sen. Peter Welch pushes to permanently extend tele-health services for all Medicare recipients, labor negotiations between teachers and the school board sour in Rutland City, and hunters that sent a tooth from their deer to Vermont Fish and Wildlife can now find out how old that deer was.
New Zealand's native freshwater mussels, or kākahi, are a keystone species for healthy lake and river ecosystems. But in many lakes across Auckland, kākahi have disappeared. Lake Rototoa near the entrance to Kaipara Harbour is still home to some kākahi, but they're struggling to successfully breed due to invasive fish called perch. Now, a team from Auckland Council have come up with a plan to help protect the kākahi. Ellen Rykers joins them out on the water.

These days, keeping it simple is one way to be different. At a time when brands are packing their products with processed ingredients and novel sweeteners, some companies are taking a stripped down approach… and getting noticed. This episode, which features an interview with Stephanie McGregor, a veteran food and beverage executive and founder of plant-based drink brand Ringa, explores that dynamic. Show notes: 0:25: Mussel-ed Out. RSVP & See You In S.B. Real Corn Flakes. Live Slice. Miso & Pita. Kartik FTW. – Ray shares some important advice about dining out based on recent experience. Our Miami meetup is 10 days away – we'd appreciate it if you register for the event. The ECB folks snack on some premium simple cereal and talk about how consumers may perceive it versus competing products. They also chat about a couple soda brand revamps – including that of a classic brand now marketed as “healthy” – snack on extra crispy pita chips, and highlight a miso-infused tomato sauce and a brand called “DryWater,” before Mike unpacks a box of goodies sent to him from Doosra founder (and CPG king ) Kartik Das. 27:28: Stephanie McGregor, Founder & CEO, Ringa – Launched in 2023, Ringa is a brand of plant-based functional beverages made with all organic ingredients, including moringa, apple cider vinegar and prebiotic fiber from agave inulin. A veteran food and beverage brand executive who has worked with vitaminwater, Pop Chips and Smashmallow, Stephanie talks about her inspiration to launch a beverage brand, how she is attempting to align education about functional ingredients to a common habit, why she's not chasing demand for gut-friendly sodas, and what she's learned from taking a slow and sustainable approach to retail growth.

We're joined by Chloe White (RVN BVNA Certsan ) discussing National Black Cat Day! We unpick all the myth and folklore surrounding these mystic cats , not least why black cats remain in rescue longer than any other coat colour! Discussing Chloe's role at with Antinol, we chat about the fact that arthritis affects between 60 and 70 percent of all cats. The problem with cats is that they're so good at disguising pain. Chloe discusses why Antinol's Green Lipped Mussel is a supplement that provides a solution . As a new concept offering very clever minimally processed Green Lipped Mussel as an oil, encapsulated in gelatine as an easy ‘tablet' to offer both cats and dogs. As a broad spectrum high potency Omega 3 , containing both DHA and EPA, its 100% ‘species appropriate' and bio-available to cats and dogs. Apart from helping with joints and mobility, Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that regulates the immune system, promotes a healthy skin and coat, and fuels bright cognition.Antinol website and InstragramFor more about Anna go to annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff PawtraitsTo advertise on or sponsor A Dog's Life email: info@theloniouspunkproductions.com
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture returned to Twin Falls this October to continue treating the Snake River after detecting quagga mussels last year. Associate producer Logan Finney speaks with ISDA Director Chanel Tewalt about the eradication campaign, Idaho's multi-agency approach to managing quagga mussels, and impacts on the rest of the river.
While teaching up at the Lodge at Pine Cove this past weekend we came across lots of tracks and sign. Tons of Sawfly (wasplike insects) cocoons, some leaf miners, galls a plenty, Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) holes and feeding sign, Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) and Moose (Alces alces) scat and lots more. But there was one bit of sign that was really annoying me… something I wasn't sure about. There were mussel shells laying about all along the rivers edge. Along the beach, the rocky cove, and all across the depths of the French River. They had all been opened, most split at the hinge, some cracked, many fragile and crumbling apart when put a bit of pressure on them. Someone had been feeding on these mussels for quite a few years it seemed, and I wanted to, maybe even needed to, figure this mussel mystery out. What kind of mussel whose remains I was finding? Who are the animals who live in this place that consume them? Who was leaving these middens about? Did they leave any other clues behind? Why couldn't I find anything? I really get into puzzles sometimes and this one made for a great distraction from the anxious excitement of teaching in a new place. This episode was recorded just after sunrise, along a wet winding trail in the mist of a gentle rain. It was awesome. Corrections : While I said something along the lines of Clams and Mussels are the same, I think this is incorrect. There seems to be differences based on structure of their shells and how they attach or burrow into substrates. To learn more :Bird Tracks and Sign by Mark Elbroch and Eleanor Marks.

Why are mussel populations declining? Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this episode: The alarming decline in mussel populations in Eau Claire County. Understanding the impact of water pollution, degradation, and infrastructure on mussel species Protecting mussels through citizen science and research efforts Find out from Breanne Klockzien - an Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator for Beaver Creek Reserve. Bre shares her research on mussel monitoring in Eau Claire County, revealing a significant decline in mussel population and species abundance since the 2012 survey. This decline is attributed to water pollution, degradation, and infrastructure development. Bre and her team followed protocols from the Wisconsin Muscle Monitoring Program and enlisted volunteers to survey the streams. The next steps include using the data for policy change and continuing citizen science efforts. It's clear that Bre, part of the Lake Monitoring and Protection Network, is dedicated to protecting Wisconsin waters. Click play now to soak up what she has to share!

Scientists have made a major breakthrough which could save the Scottish potato industry from collapse. They've identified varieties which are both palatable to consumers and resistant to a pest which is spreading across the country. A new report has revealed that part of the seabed off Devon which had been trashed by years of trawling and dredging is being revitalised. Research by the University of Plymouth shows that within just 10 years the former shellfish reef has been transformed.All this week on Farming Today we're looking at 'green finance', getting money to pay for things which improve nature or reduce harmful emissions.

One estimate says a quagga mussel infestation would cost the Pacific Northwest $500 million a year to deal with.
Lynnhaven River Now will study whether mussels are as effective as oysters at stabilizing eroding shoreline.
The Southern Pacific encouraged settlers to farm and improve on their land grants with the understanding they would be able to buy it for from $2.50 to $5 per acre. When the railroad raised that price to $25 and $35 an acre, the farmers revolted. They were being evicted from the land they had worked for years. In the end the railroad won.

Some farmers who already rely on state benefits are being told they need to look for paid work and ditch their farm businesses if they want to continue receiving those benefits. It's happening because of changes in the way welfare is delivered, so farmers on Tax Credits are now being switched to Universal Credit. But eligibility for Universal Credit is calculated using monthly income and expenditure, which doesn't sit well with farm businesses where these can vary enormously depending on the season. The transition process has been described by famers as a nightmare and, as we'll be hearing shortly, it's also having an impact on mental health.And CCTV… for fish! John Holmyard runs a ‘rope-cultured' offshore mussel farm in Lyme Bay about 5 miles off the south coast of Devon. He's been working with the University of Plymouth to monitor what impact the farm has on the marine life around it.Presented by Caz Graham Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
The Floating Farm is one of the latest attempts to think outside the box when it comes to adapting to climate change. Mussel farms or attempts to grow kelp and other sea vegetation might be expected, but not a three-story dairy operation. The Floating Farm has been operational since 2019 and bills itself as the world's floating dairy farm. It aims to have a closed loop of production, using its own waste and recycling. The cows graze on hay and the rinds of oranges salvaged from supermarket juice machines in the port city. They drink collected rain water from the canopies which protect them from the weather. Robots are used to milk them and mop up their manure which is used as organic fertilizer. The Floating Farm sells the milk, cheese and buttermilk produced by the cows in a small shop on dry land next to its harbor berth. “Countries are more and more looking to be self-sufficient in one or another way, and of course climate change is a big thing, because a lot of countries, they suffer from flooding or dry period. So, when you have a floating farm, you are climate adaptive, so you can keep on producing fresh healthy food for the city,” says Minke van Wingerden, owner of the Floating Farm. Van Wingerden believes putting farms on the water enables people to access fresh produce near to the cities they live in. Van Wingerden says the cow's welfare is closely monitored. “There are a lot of vets, they are coming and seeing how they are doing. But we see that they are doing very well, their fur is shiny, they are curious, they produce a lot of milk, and the quality of the milk is very good. So everything is going very well, and we are happy about that,” she says. She believes the volume of visitors the farm attracts is a testament to the interest people have “not only in the agricultural side, but also in the innovation projects.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In this episode:00:46 A sustainably-sourced, super-strong adhesiveThe modern world is held together by adhesives, but these fossil-fuel derived materials come at an environmental cost. To overcome this, a team have developed a soya-oil based adhesive, which also takes inspiration from the proteins that marine animals like mussels use to stick firmly to rocks. The researchers say their glue is strong, reversible, and less carbon intensive to produce than existing adhesives.Research article: Westerman et al.07:43 Research HighlightsWhy chemicals derived from wood could be sustainable alternatives to a common plastic building block, and how historical accounts helped researchers estimate the brightness of a 1859 solar flare.Research Highlight: Wood component yields useful plastics — without the health risksResearch Highlight: A historic solar flare's huge intensity is revealed by new tools10:08 New insights into childhood stunting and wastingAround the world, millions of children are affected by malnutrition, which can result in stunting or wasting, both associated with serious health issues.
