This document discusses the threat of invasive zebra mussels spreading to Texas water bodies like Lake Conroe. Zebra mussels were first found in Texas in 2009 and can damage infrastructure, outcompete native species, and result in high mitigation costs. The document proposes actions like public education campaigns, monitoring, and researching control measures to prevent the spread of zebra mussels to Lake Conroe. Water chemistry factors that influence zebra mussel populations are also summarized.
