S. Mussel Reefs -- Learn about this globally unique and little-known marine feature from discoverer Gordon Fader, marine geologist, and Laura Hussey, Marine Co-ordinator for the Nova Scotia Chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. These fascinating reefs are formed by dead horse mussels, Modiolus modiolus, when they mix with sand and mud to form mounds on top of which the live mussels grow. Multiple rows of these reefs are on the Bay of Fundy seafloor, up to four m high, 40 m wide, and over one km long - the largest mussel reefs yet to be documented in the world. These bivalve reefs create productive and biodiverse marine environments, but they are at risk from human activities. Join Gordon as he recounts their discovery; then hear from Laura about the need to protect them. --Boundary_(ID_amMKqauPk5pNHC64YFcvvw) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.3157" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> <DIV id=3Dheader_text>Thurs., Sept. 6 =96 7:30 p.m., auditorium of = the Nova=20 Scotia Museum of Natural History, 1747 Summer Street, Halifax </DIV> <DIV id=3Dpage_body> <DIV class=3Dmeet_date> </DIV> <DIV class=3Dmeet_date><SPAN class=3Dmeet_title>Rare N.
