Have you ever seen a mussel use it's foot? Mussels, like many bivalves, have a muscular organ called a foot that they use to move themselves around through substrate. One of the ribbed mussels at the nature center decided it wanted to move and we were able to get a video of its foot in action. Check it out! | DuPont Nature Center

Mussel Farming in the Marlborough Sounds is almost as majestic as the Sounds themselves. The relationship between keeping jobs for the hundreds of hard working men and women in the rural areas and the premium product they provide, will ensure they keep the identity that we know, and that farmers not only understand the importance of keeping them presetine to ensure that NZ produce is kept in high regard around the world.
