Marsha May, aquatic biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, will introduce students to the amazing world of Texas’ freshwater mussels. We will investigate the biology and ecology of these often overlooked critters with an emphasis on their important role in aquatic ecosystems. Students will be asked to participate in an activity that will help them understand how scientists name mussels. Shells of many species will be displayed during the program.
