The US Geological Survey Columbia Environmental Research Center is offering a grant to a CESU partner for research on formulating a conservation strategy for freshwater mussels in the Buffalo River. This grant aims to evaluate mussel population trends and the potential impact of elevated nitrogen on mussel recruitment. The research includes reviewing water quality data, conducting toxicity testing, caged mussel studies, and surveying mussel populations. Results will not only benefit the Buffalo River but can also be applied to other systems managed by the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior. Closing Date: Aug 09, 2019.
