On September 14 and 16, 2021, EMPSi facilitated live webinar sessions for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which allowed attendees to learn more about the Service’s proposed listing and critical habitat designations for several central Texas mussel species.

These webinars included a narrated slideshow presentation to provide an overview of the proposed listings, as well as a moderated live Q&A session with Service staff to answer questions from members of the public on the proposed listings. Additionally, the webinars included a facilitated public hearing portion, during which participants could offer public comments on the proposed listings via the Zoom web platform or over the phone.

Recordings and transcripts of these public hearing webinars are available to the public.
