Freshwater Species Research & Recovery Programme

Discover current projects in our Freshwater Species Research & Recovery Programme

The Freshwater Pearl Mussel Ark and LIFE R4ever Kent are the two FBA freshwater species research and recovery programmes.

We need your help to do more…

The conservation work that we do is incredibly important to fresh water as a whole and is part-funded by generous organisations, donors and our membership base, however, funding to continue the project is constantly in threat. By becoming a member you will automatically contribute directly to our pearl mussel conservation project, as well as advance the understanding of fresh waters and ensure a healthy future for all of our river and lake habitats. Alternatively you may donate directly to the project here. We are extremely grateful for all donations that are received. Thank you.
