The rivers, streams and watersheds in #GA are known around the world for their diversity of freshwater aquatic snails and mussels. There are even species, like the Altamaha spinymussel that are found only in #GA! Unfortunately, several snails and mussels have gone extinct or were extirpated due primarily to changes in water quality. We work hard with our partners to protect these species and the waters they live in! (Photo: Altamaha spinymussel, Jimmy Rickard, USFWS)
