A mobile mussels lab starts in Maryland aimed at restoring populations in the Susquehanna River
Published: , in Outdoor News
A new Maryland Department of Natural Resources project is aiming at raising imperiled freshwater mussels and restoring them to waters of the Susquehanna River basin – all from the back of a trailer.
The department’s Mobile Mussel Propagation Trailer began operations this October. It’s currently parked in Susquehanna State Park and is raising juvenile mussels from the Susquehanna River, where the mollusks play an important role in filtering water.
