Another invasive species of concern that was first found along Putah Creek in
December 2003 at Fishing Access #3 is the New Zealand Mudsnail (NZMS).
The NZMS can choke out other native snails and insects, deprive fish of their
main sources of food, multiply rapidly, and can damage fisheries and native habitats.
The Putah Creek biomonitoring group, led by the Putah Creek Council and independent
aquatic biologist Ken Davis, surveys sites along Lower Putah Creek to inventory
native stream macroinvertebrates (bugs) and to track the spread of the NZMS.

| In order to help stop the spread of the NZMS, please clean all fishing and
boating gear after each use, completely dry all gear, and never move fish or
plants from one body of water to another.
