We explore the concept of metastability or almost-invariance in open dynamical systems. In such systems, the loss of mass through a ``hole'' occurs in the presence of metastability. We extend existing techniques for finding almost-invariant sets in closed systems to open systems by introducing a closing operation that has a small impact on the system's metastability.
