Comunicate Ideas:
Creating the Website "Stop the Zebra-Mussels"
( TLG-Plan Project, 2021 )
During Sophermore Year, I worked on an environmental project as my TGPLAN project (Think Globally, Problem-solve Locally, Act Neighborly)
The backgrond was the protection of our Texan lakes and rivers from invasive species. In my project, I wanted to inform people and especially boat owners about the invasive Zebra Mussels, which live since a few years in lakes, ponds and rivers all over Texas and all over the world.
For this, I researched with marina operators, interviewed boat owners, residents at lakes and the water authority about the current spread of Zebra mussels in our waters, about measures already taken to push back and control possibilities to reduce further spreads.
To communicate the issue and ways to help and protect, I created a website with informations about the Mussels. The website lists facts about the history, explains the Global issue and the local problems, how to take action and care about boats and the water, and lists organizations which launched major public awareness campaigns about preventing invasive zebra mussels from infesting new water bodies.
In addition, I created a flyer for boat owners how and where they can clean their boats before moving to another lake.
