Invasive Freshwater Clams threaten the water we love.

Ministry for Primary Industries

The Freshwater Clam is an invasive species that has made its way to New Zealand.

They can harm our lakes, rivers and everything we love about the water, from boating and fishing to swimming and competing.

To help stop the spread of the Freshwater Clam, please follow the new check-clean-dry requirements when moving between rivers and lakes this summer to protect the water we love.
