This $578,831 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) provides funding to the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center to conduct water quality monitoring and analysis of freshwater bivalve health and shell composition in 14 coastal Louisiana parishes. The key activities include in-situ assessments of mussel aggregations, collection and analysis of live mussel specimens from four species to quantify growth rates and detect heavy metal and pollutant contaminants, and comparison to historical museum specimens. This work will provide critical data on the current and historical water quality and aquatic ecosystem health within these Gulf of Mexico watersheds. The project aims to further understanding of the watersheds' status and the impacts of landscape-level changes over time. The findings will also inform water recreation and fish consumption advisories.
