Good day everyone. 
Well they're here now and our government is already planning aggressive 
treatments as zebra muscles have been found in our harbour. The treatment will 
shut down 4 of our commercial harbours on Lake Winnipeg, knock out our fishing 
fleets for most of May and June and offset our recreational schedule. This 
prescription calls for liquid potash to be pumped into the harbours. 
This seems like a scary alternative as potash is the 3rd major crop nutrient 
after nitrogen and phosphorus and Lake Winnipeg already has a giant blue green 
algae problem thanks to field runoff etc.  It sounds like they are only going 
to be postponing the inevitable and causing additional problems along the way. 
For the sailors living on the Great Lakes and have been dealing with zebra 
muscles for years, what sort of personal impact have you had with your 
sailboats cooling systems, sanitary systems etc. Also what local treatments 
have you seen?  

Thanks
