S&T Project 19196 Final Report: Development and Field Research on Next Generation Coatings for Mussel Mitigation on Infrastructure

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: April 18, 2026 at 01:06 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 30, 2022 at 09:19 AM
Bureau of Reclamation has been investigating solutions to combat the freshwater invasive quagga and zebra mussels. Reclamation employees at the Technical Service Center began investigating specialized foul-release and anti-fouling coatings, beginning in 2008, as a method to combat the mussels on Reclamation infrastructure. Initial research projects provided insight to what made a coating successful for combatting the mussels. This led to the development of partnerships and material transfer agreements for developing the next generation of foul-release coatings that have improved performance for combatting the mussels, increased durability, and increase service lives.
