Freshwater Mussels

Freshwater mussels are a vital part of a healthy freshwater ecosystem. In Philadelphia, PA, a handful of organizations are working hard to revive the freshwater mussels in our waterways.

Education is the first step of restoration. I created an infographic illustrating the importance of freshwater mussels and their role in their ecosystem.

By useing Freshwater Mussels - Partnership for the Delaware Estuary and The “Mussel” Behind the Delaware River Watershed’s Clean Water | Audubon Pennsylvania as resources, I wrote copy describing the lifecycle and environmental benefits of freshwater mussels. I aimed to create a single graphic that could illustrate the information. This graphic could be used as an exhibit sign, poster or web graphic.
