Sabine River Authority Natural Resources Management Director Bill Kirby gently opens a freshwater mussel collected during a sampling trip to Lake Fork Creek, a tributary of the Sabine River, on Sept. 17, 2020. Looking internally helps determine whether the mussel is a male or female and if eggs are present. (Aubry Buzek/USFWS)
