With financial assistance from the United States Army Corps of Engineers and United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program has developed the Atlas of North Carolina's Freshwater Mussels and Endangered Freshwater Fish. This atlas emphasizes the diversity and unique nature of these animals. Management practices are recommended for agriculture, forestry, road construction and development projects to help reduce the impacts of these activities on sensitive aquatic habitats.
