a) The process of sampling 26 bodies of water which are at-risk of zebra and quagga mussels infestion utilizing the sampling protocol recommended by the Idaho Invasive Species Council.

b) The process of determining the bodies of water that have been infested by zebra and quagga mussels.

c) The process of disseminating information regarding a possible infestation in order to immediately implement appropriate control measures.

d) The process of reducing the risk of infestation through watercraft inspection and education.
