Non-native snails continue advancing toward Delta despite effort to eradicate them - al.com: "Amazonian apple snails and their nuclear pink eggs were easy to find Tuesday on Three Mile Creek, bad news given that state biologists applied a copper-sulfate snail poison to the entire creek last week.

Though wildlife officials said the chemical was effective in the lake at Mobile's Langan Park during the recent effort to poison the snail population there, the creek is proving more difficult to treat.

The Press-Register accompanied Mobile Baykeeper board member Jimbo Meador on a kayak trip down the middle stretch of the creek Tuesday, launching above Spring hill Avenue and ending a few miles below where the creek crosses under Interstate 65."
