Japanese Mussel makes it to Canada
#1
The west coast of Canada is on the watch for Tsunami debris. Some stuff has washed ashore.

It seems a piece of debris just found has some Japanese mussels that survived the trip. If they found one there will be others. So no doubt this mussel could establish itself. That has potential problems. Who know how it will effect the existing ecosystem.

Another aspect of this is that fact that the mussels actually made the trip alive. It does offer an explanation for how life has spread throughout the world.
You have to admire the tough little creatures for travelling like that and surviving.
