Show Us Your Mussels - Monthly Visit Findings

You’ll see below details of the blue mussels found around the Forth of Forth so far. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. We’ll continue to share insights into this as more sightings come in. Headings with up / down arrows beside them can be used to sort the records.

N.B. exact blue mussel locations are not being publicly shared as we have had reports of them then being taken for food. Given their scarcity, we have taken the decision to leave their locations around the Forth private and just for our individual volunteers. We hope you understand.
