• Description:
  The Shenango River is a principal tributary of the Beaver River, which may provide an opportunity for the relocation of clubshell and northern riffleshell. These federally listed mussels and other species of concern may be present in the Shenango River. Known as a historic location for freshwater mussels, the river has not been recently surveyed and remains a significant gap in the existing data.
