Our Moen chain is still free of the nastier Invasive Aquatic species such as Zebra Mussels and Eurasian Watermilfoil. I hope you are like me and want to keep it free of them. However this will not happen if we are not vigilant in protecting our Chain both by our own actions with our watercraft but also by ensuring that outside boaters do not introduce them.
