Mussels and Their Impacts to the Great Lakes

[lakextackle]

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but if migratory birds frequent these infested waters, is it possible the birds are transporting these creatures instead of boaters? I guess I'm thinking if they can attach so easily to a boat why not a bird?

And is it really possible to entirely decontaminate a boat and trailer, even with high pressure washing? The boat maybe, but to get every drop of water off the trailer; out of the hubs, bunks, frame that fills with water seems unlikey even with the best of intentions.
