CSKT declares emergency over invasive mussel larvae

MISSOULA, Mont. - The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are declaring an emergency to counter the spread of invasive mussel larvae into the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Gov. Steve Bullock already declared a natural resource emergency last month after quagga mussels were found in the Canyon Ferry and Tiber reservoirs earlier this year.

The invasive zebra and quagga mussels have devastating impacts on local economies and ecosystems.
