The Lake George Asian Clam Rapid Response Task Force

The threat to Lake George and the Adirondack Park from the Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) infestation was quickly grasped by Lake George and Adirondack Park civic and regulatory communities. This group formalized into the ad hoc Lake George Asian Clam Rapid Response Task Force (LGACRRTF) and has organized a containment and eradication plan for the Asian clam planned for the 2011 season.

Mats being installed at Shepard Park today


A very small number of clams were found just off Shepard Park beach this past August.  This site is just south of the southern end of the original Lake Avenue Project Site in the Village.  These few outliers are being treated this fall with a few mats to smother the clams.

divers roll the benthic barriers out on the lake bottom and weight them down with rebar.
