Description:"This contaminant monitoring effort in the Great Lakes is part of a larger contaminant monitoring program that began in 1986 and currently includes more than 300 sites nationwide (Figure 2). In the Great Lakes, MWP established 7 sites in the inaugural year and more sites were added in the initial years after the invasion and proliferation of Ponto-Caspian mussels Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (zebra and quagga mussels, respectively) that became established in the region in the late 1980s (Carlton 2008; Mills et al., 1993; Robertson and Lauenstein, 1998). The abundance and widespread distribution of dreissenid mussels in the nearshore areas of the Great Lakes (except Lake Superior) renders them ideal candidates for routine contaminant monitoring"--Project overview.
