South Carolina's freshwater ecosystems are a lifeline for countless species, providing clean water, habitat, and a delicate balance essential for biodiversity. In these serene waters, the Carolina Heelsplitter, a small yet significant freshwater mussel, makes its home. Unfortunately, this remarkable species faces numerous challenges, from habitat destruction to pollution, threatening its very existence. However, dedicated conservation efforts are underway, striving to restore and protect the heelsplitter's dwindling population and the health of our vital waterways in the wild.
