Question: have you found anything about fresh water pearl mussels

Karen answered on 6 Nov 2018:

Hi thanks for your question! 🙂 I’m not quite finished with my research yet, so I am still finding things out. I did find some mussels living in an area that we thought they had died out from, which was exciting! It also looks like the river in which the mussels are happiest has the lowest amount of soil in the water, and the river in which the mussels are unhappy has the highest amount of soil (it’s the most dirty!) I’m hoping that this finding will help us improve the rivers for the mussels in the future!
