1 Got Mussels? Freshwater Mussel Volunteer Survey Program 1
2 What kind of mussels are we talking about? Umm.. Not these!
3 And not these either (Saltwater musselsyummmmmm)
4 Freshwater mussels! -Bivalves (meaning 2 shells ) -Some species live years! -Not at all good to eat (unlike their delicious, shorter-lived saltwater cousins). -Provide incredible eco-services: Water filtration (20+ gallons/day per adult mussel in warm seasons) Streambed erosion prevention Food & Habitat for other animals 4
5 Once commonly found in local creeks, rivers and ponds you may have stepped on one & didn t even know it!
6
7 It s not hard to see
8 that streams without freshwater mussels are at a SERIOUS disadvantage. Slides from Dick Neves, VA Tech 8

10 So where are they in the Delaware Estuary? Just as important where AREN T they now? 10
11 PDE decided to find out Where mussels are and if they are healthy enough to use for brood stock in a hatchery. Where they are not, and determine if those stream segments can support a reintroduction of mussels in a future project phase. 11
12
13 PDE and Academy of Natural Science staff found 7 native species in the Delaware River in May of which were believed to be extinct in PA! Then we really got excited but how could we possibly survey the entire watershed? 13
14 Enormous watershed nearly 6,500 square miles Historically home to freshwater mussel species but only ONE species is (somewhat) commonly found now. Last in-depth freshwater mussel surveying took place in 1919.
15 Problem(s): Too few scientists Too few dollars Too many stream miles Solution: Show us your mussels A call for trained volunteers!!! 15
16 Grant Received EPA, PA CZM & Pilot Program created First ever Delaware Estuary Freshwater Mussel Guidebook written and printed. 2 Training Workshops scheduled and completed with 2 watershed organization s volunteers. Tookany-Tacony Frankford Watershed Partnership Chester Ridley Crum Watershed Association Trained volunteers surveyed all summer & uploaded their photos and data via web portal. 5 stream miles DONE in summer 2012!
17 Project Product The first ever Delaware Estuary Freshwater Mussel Guidebook! 24-page, spiral bound, laminated for easy field use. Created with input from watershed organizations.
18 Downloadable data sheets & web portal to upload survey findings-also tested with watershed volunteer groups.
19 TTF 2 Pilot WORKSHOPS Goal train 20 volunteers 80 attended workshops! 160 volunteers surveyed throughout the summer! CRC
20 CRC Field Training Ridley Creek State Park Found LOTS of Elliptios (common) Younger volunteers found the MOST! (and squealed the loudest)
21 TTF Field Training Rock Creek (Tacony Creek tributary) ZERO mussels found so this is a stream where they are not!
22 The mussels we are looking for- Not always easy to spot! Invasive (non-native) freshwater clams We found LOTS of these!
23 Next Steps Get other watershed organizations involved and seek grant funds to train new volunteer groups. Analyze data both volunteer and scientific. Continue hatchery work. Determine best streams for restoration of freshwater mussel species. Reintroduce native mussels to their native waters.
