Description
As an obligate host to the endangered salamander mussel, nmps play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem functionality. However, their populations have declined significantly due to habitat loss, degradation, and invasive species, highlighting the need for conservation efforts. This project aims to assess NMP populations, habitat, and ecology to inform conservation and management strategies. By combining traditional sampling methods with environmental DNA analysis, areas of high conservation value will be identified and habitat restoration efforts will be prioritized. Additionally, outreach and education initiatives will occur with local communities to promote NMP conservation and mitigate habitat loss. The project s findings will contribute to the development of effective conservation and management plans for nmps and other focal species in michigan s coastal communities, ultimately enhancing ecosystem resilience and biodiversity in the great lakes region.
