Congratulations on reaching the milestone of 10,000 observations in this project! Mollusks are a poorly-understood group of organisms, in terms of their distribution here in Florida, and your observations will aid conservation agencies with understanding where they are and where they might be. We would love to see more observations of freshwater mussels, especially, if anyone is looking for species to target.

Keep up the good work and happy mollusking,
