Mussel grubbing is a treasure hunt. When is it done by citizen scientists in the upper Sangamon River in central Illinois, it is a vital service to the environment. In his latest film, Mussel Grubbing: A Citizen Science Treasure Hunt, Jason Lindsey talks to volunteers and scientists and follows along as they unearth their treasures and gather their data. Finding a diverse collection of healthy mussels means a healthy river, and a healthy river ensures healthy people.
