So you are worried about fresh water snails and mussels entering the hull, bilge and motor. Do you actually have a boat and if so where is it located?

I've recently moved over to Sydney from the UK and have yet to sail my boat, but back in the UK, Quagga mussels and zebra mussels were an emerging issue.
I read they were hear in Australia and wondered if there was any guidance on them. I've never encountered them but I want to make sure I'm not transporting any, they clog water pipes and cause algal blooms, plus reduce fish populations.
