Abstract
A 1991 and 1992 survey of the freshwater
mussels of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint (ACF) rivers showed that mussel populations throughout the ACF basin were greatly reduced in diversity and
population levels. To protect this diminishing fauna, conservation efforts should focus on ecosystem protection
rather than single species recovery.
