I found an Ellipse mussel (Venustaconcha ellipsiformis) in the Milwaukee River Basin! Ellipse are considered a threatened species in Wisconsin. #FreshwaterMussels @mkeriverkeeper @FMCS_Mollusk

@mishafredmeyer @mark_scheuerell @hildug @jordansread Hey all, WDNR Fisheries Database Coordinator here. I would be interested in helping out with this or participating in a virtual session. I am also swamped right now but would be happy to lend a hand when I can!

@Mark_Baden Great, thanks!

@DeidreMKE @mkeriverkeeper @HarborDistrict These are great!

Mussels in the news (something to keep you eye on)...

H.R.6668 - To amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to remove freshwater mussels from the list of endangered and threatened species.

@bioonthego We’re doing surveys in the Milwaukee River Basin in partnership with the @WDNR! There might be a similar program you could get involved with down by you 👍

@TimLane13 @EricahDawn Woo! You know I got mine 😎

It was a great evening to complete a #FreshwaterMussel survey with @mkeriverkeeper volunteers! @WisCBM

[Zac Driscoll @PhatMucket]

@CherylNenn @TrexLab @mkeriverkeeper Both unionids and quaggas would be really cool! Harvey might have some quaggas laying around we could analyze. Also there are plenty of unionids at Hubbard (one of one sampling sites).

Architectural diversity in #caddis cases. No idea what spp. Maybe Limnephilus sp. in the case made of snail shells? #trichoptera

Despite exceptionally high water levels, we had a great water quality volunteer training! 30 new recruits geared up and ready to protect our rivers. #citizenscience @mkeriverkeeper @RiveredgeNC @WisCBM @FundforLakeMI
