What has currently been done to help reverse the damage of zebra mussels?
It is not that simple. In rivers and large natural lakes where they are well established, nothing can really be done. They are now a part of the ecosystem and only through research can we unravel the complex detrimental impacts they are bound to have. Inside power plants where they are known to clog pipes and stop the flow of water. In small closed environments like pipes, chemicals and filters can be used to kill zebra mussels. We cannot use those same methods in the outside ecosystems because the environment is too large to treat with chemicals and filters.
