SNAIL PROJECT DELIVERS FAST-FOOD RELIEF TO ENDANGERED SNAIL KITE
|
The South Florida Water Management District issued the following news release:
The South Florida Water Management District is supporting innovative research to learn if native apple snails can be cultured in large enough numbers to help replenish them in the wild. The snails are the primary food source for Florida's endangered snail kite.
The District-funded project is showing signs of early success with the first batch of captive-raised snails already producing fertilized eggs and hatchlings at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce. The $100,000 study is being conducted by ...
