Zebra mussels found in Lake Livingston Texas
USGS confirmed zebra mussels in Lake Livingston adding the lake to the list of Texas water bodies infested with reproducing populations. The discovery follows six lakes in three basins with established populations and underscores the need for boaters to Clean Drain Dry to prevent spread. Texas law bans possession or transport of zebra mussels and requires draining water from boats before leaving any freshwater. The article also notes Texas hired David Pierce as head baseball coach, replacing Augie Garrido.
