FREE Freshwater Mussel Workshop and Survey

Freshwater mussels, the most endangered animals in North America, are not easy to find in Delaware Estuary waterways. This is bad news for our streams. Healthy populations of filter-feeding mussels can remove pollutants and tons of sediment from the water while strengthening stream beds against erosion.

Join Partnership for the Delaware Estuary and the University of Delaware College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment at Abbott’s Mill Nature Center for a free hands-on workshop to become acquainted with these rare and wonderful organisms. Classroom and field component. Come ready to get in the stream!
