I always considered them the unsung heroes of the harbor.

Ribbed Mussels Could Help Improve Urban Water Quality

Ribbed mussels can remove nitrogen and other excess nutrients from an urban estuary and could help improve water quality in other urban and coastal locations, according to a study in New York City's Bronx River.

On Hudson River from 135 to 65 saw oysters (and ribbed mussels) everywhere during super low tide. And in many places where I've never seen either and they were all like 3 years old. Many photos. Totally blown away. #Oysters #HudsonRiver #RibbedMussels #Nyc #BillionOysterProject
