Freshwater bivalves (clams and mussels) are declining due to habitat destruction. In Alberta, the current distribution and status of bivalves is largely unknown, as the taxon was last surveyed in the 1960s. Thus, a thorough provincial-wide survey of bivalves is warranted.
Please help us expand our knowledge of bivalves in Alberta by submitting high-quality images of mussels and clams to iNaturalist. Your observations are automatically added to the Bivalves of Alberta project.
