Volunteers brave frigid waters in effort to thwart Asian clams test locations in Lake George — one just off the shore of Lake Avenue beach, and the other off the shoreline by Park Lane Motel. The benthic mats are placed over the clams, cutting off their oxygen and food supply. The project included a team of divers conducting water sampling at daily intervals to record dissolved oxygen levels under the mats, and core samples to determine the quantity of live or dead Asian clams. The research pilot project includes gathering clams to test the efficiency of chemical treatment, an eradication methodology under review alongside suction harvesting and heat treatment. The task force is focusing its energies on eradication, because experts say the long-term presence of Asian clams will negatively impact water

LAKE GEORGE — About a dozen volunteers worked for hours in icy waters Dec. 17 alongside marine experts in an ongoing project to keep Lake George free of invasive species. The workers, clad in dry suits to maneuver in the near-freezing waters, pulled up benthic mats laid on the lakebottom in several shallow areas of Lake George. The volunteers had gathered to assist marine experts in a pilot project to quantify the incursion of Asian clams and determine an eradication method. This project was the latest effort of the local Asian clam task force which began its research project in late September after purchasing and repairing four different types of benthic mats to be used in effort. Each of the different types of mats — about 1,100 square feet each — were positioned and placed this fall in two clam-infested
