This is a group of freshwater bivalve enthusiasts working on the captive breeding, conservation and research of species such as Margaritifera margaritifera.

With no set agenda this group meets occasionally, on an informal basis via zoom (with a cuppa in hand), to share their knowledge and experience.

For those working with freshwater bivalves this is a great opportunity to build contacts and input to knowledge sharing.

Those interested in participating should contact Ben.Strachan@environment-agency.gov.uk.

The next zoom e-chat is scheduled for the 27th of October 2021 @ 12noon BST.
