ACF Mussel workshop and PAINT Rock, BEAR Creek, and Bogue chitto sampling complete!

We have had a very productive summer! We have completed sampling on Bogue Chitto Creek, the Paint Rock River, and Bear Creek. At this point, we have dug ~500 quadrats and conducted excretion measurements on over 300 mussels! We took a bit of a break this past week and the Alabama crew attended the 2019 Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint Basin mussel workshop at the Jones Ecological Research Center in southwest Georgia. It was great continuing seeing new mussel species after all the work in the Mobile and Tennessee basins. We'll be back at on the Buttahatchee River next week.
