Baltic Baywatch

This project aims to further the understanding of a key species in the Baltic Sea, the Baltic Bay mussel (Mytilus trossulus).

Mussels play a key role in the ecosystem, as they clean the water, provide shelter for other animals, create habitat structure and serve as food source.

By studying the mussel’s genetic response to slow and fast changes in their environment, this project aims to offer a lens through which we can better watch over the Baltic Bay.
