 2. Habitat
Fresh water mussels spend most of their lives, which range from 10 to 100 years, partially or wholly buried in the bottoms of streams and lakes. Mussels have specialized habitat preferences. Many species cannot live in muddy streams with excess amounts of silt.

"Mussels of the Altamaha River" is a course designed to teach ecological relationships and habitat use patterns using the mussels of the Altamaha River to show the interdependence of species for reproduction, transportation, and food. Objectives include discussion of the interdependence of all life within a watershed.
Produced under a grant by Georgia DNR Non Game Wildlife Programs by the Glynn Environmental Coalition.
