SUMMARY:Mussels in the Mainstream
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Ashley Flores\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOysters get a lot of buzz in the Chesapeake Bay region\, but freshwater mussels provide many of the same ecosystem services in the 64\,000-square-mile watershed that feeds into the Bay. These unsung water quality and habitat heroes are finally getting some mainstream recognition\, with their inclusion in the 2025 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and restoration efforts ongoing in streambeds across the watershed. \n\n\n\nJoin the Chesapeake Research Consortium on Wednesday\, September 23rd from 12-1pm to hear how science\, innovative approaches\, and watershed policy are converging to support populations of native freshwater mussels. \n\n\n\nPotomac Riverkeeper Network’s own Staff Scientist\, Evan Quinter will join the conversation as a panelist to discuss our 50 Million Mussels Project and our work to repopulate the Potomac and Shenandoah with these small but mighty creatures! \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nEvan Quinter\, Staff Scientist\, Potomac Riverkeeper NetworkJamie Brunkow\, Director of Advocacy and River Ecology\, James River Association \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWednesday\, September 23\, 202612 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nFREE Zoom Webinar \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
