Mussel Power for a Healthier Anacostia River
Thursday, October 22 at 7:00 pm
Jorge Bogantes
Anacostia Watershed Society
Natural Resources Specialist
Jorge brings on the muscles! The Anacostia Watershed Society’s (AWS) freshwater mussel restoration program is a pioneering effort to help increase the biofiltration capacity and the biodiversity of the aquatic ecosystems in the Anacostia River. Learn how mussels – hardworking invertebrates – improve water quality, enhance submerged aquatic vegetation beds, and support fish populations and wildlife. AWS is not only educating the general public about these fascinating animals, but also educating school students through an innovative educational program called “Mussel Power.”
