Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE)

The goal of this scoping project was to investigate the potential of utilizing innovative methods to detect microscopic invasive dreissenid mussels in the lab and in the field. This investigation focused on scent detection by dogs and sensor technology as well as automated image analysis. The intent of this scoping project was to gather initial information about technologies that have potential, and to develop a future conducting proposal that will allow for further investigation and potentially implementation of new methods that will benefit the Reclamation invasive mussel monitoring and early detection program.
