Musselling up the Glenelg

We are musselling up the Glenelg River!

A new $490,000 two-year project funded through the Australian Government’s Saving Native Species program will see the Glenelg Freshwater Mussel’s environment improved locally through on-ground works and actions.

The project also includes funding for the population currently housed at the Snob’s Creek Hatchery, with an aim of successfully breeding them in captivity.

Federal Minister for the Environment, Tanya Plibersek, announced the project funding on May 3.
