More Information

Freshwater mussels are one of the most imperiled groups of animals in the United States. Nearly 35 species have gone extinct in the last 100 years. Today, of the 12 freshwater mussel species found in Connecticut, seven are endangered, threatened, or are species of concern.

The goal of this project is to collect presence absence data on freshwater bivalves in Connecticut.
