"The clarity of the water is wild," Faso, owner of the Delta Marine Yacht Center in Stockton, explained. "It's sad to say, but we could never even see that deep."
"I don't want to say it's a foregone conclusion that we can't stop it, but we have to find a way to slow it down," Faso said.
Thick colonies are already coating boats, piers and pipelines.
"We get to really kind of view a whole host of environments that these mussels are showing up in," he continued. "It's a really good kind of concentrated way to get a lot of data quickly and it's just our normal course of business."
"That's our big push. We need data, we need information and we need people to do little things like we're doing," Faso said.
He says the results have been positive but the need to stop the spread of these mussels is urgent."If we have a problem here, and we do, it's likely showing up in all other regions hundreds of miles away," Faso continued. "These boats that are traveling from body of water to body of water can unwittingly be transmitting or conveying those mussels to an otherwise unaffected area."
"We're looking to find a solution and that seems unlikely," he said. "In the meantime, what we're trying to do is get education out there."
