Happy Mussel Monday! Did you know that freshwater mussels depend on other animals in their reproduction process? PDE has a lab where it raises freshwater mussels for the purpose of clean water. #mightymussel #EstuaryEnvironment #EstuaryScience #cleanwater

Happy Mussel Monday! Freshwater mussels are remarkable. You think they're simple, and you find they do quite complex things. PDE works with freshwater mussels to build their numbers for the purpose of clean water. #mightymussel #science #DelawareEstuary #EstuaryScience

Reproduction cycle of the fabulous Freshwater Pearl Mussel. Some mussel populations prefer juvenile #trout as their host like in the pic, some prefer Atlantic #salmon. #fishmigration #salmonids #Margaritifera #molluscs

A few lines from "Breakage" by #MaryOliver: First you figure out what each one means by itself, the jingle, the periwinkle, the scallop full of moonlight. Then you begin, slowly, to read the whole story. Image from our synoptical collection. poetryfoundation.org/poetrym…
