A photo of researchers and citizen science volunteers collecting baseline data for the Lokeri (Freshwater Mussel) Project at Tolderol, Lake Alexandrina has been selected for a Photo Exhibition at the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties (COP15) in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe from 23 to 31 July.

The Lokeri Project, part of the CLLMM Research Centre’s Science Program, will contribute to the understanding of the floodplain mussel and hopefully the restoration of ecological balance and biodiversity in the Great Southern Lakes of Lakes Alexandrina and Albert, which is also of particular significance to the Ngarrindjeri community who call the freshwater mussel, ” Lokeri”.
