Mussel Monitoring – Cage Retrieval
January 21, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Puget Soundkeeper is looking for adventurous volunteers ready to spend an evening retrieving mussel cages around Puget Sound! Mussel Watch is a regional study coordinated by the Department of Fish and Wildlife that utilizes mussels to monitor water quality. In October, teams of volunteers throughout Puget Sound installed cages of mussels at a late night low tide. Now, we need volunteers to collect the mussels so their tissues can be analyzed for the accumulation of various pollutants. This project focuses specifically on urban sample sites with high pollution loads. Less contaminated sites are included for reference. Over the long term, this provides valuable information about improvements or declines in Puget Sound water quality.
