It's an interesting article - on the one hand they improve water
quality and fishing and on the other hand, they are a pest.

There's got to be a middle ground.

We can hope that Mother Nature has an equilibrium planned for this.
Donning rose colored glasses, I can imagine that the Chesapeake area
(for example) is cleansed by the Zebra Mussel, allowing Blue Crabs to
flourish and, thence, control the number of Zebras.

Anyway, interesting article:

The Zebras don't do salt water.
