Statement of Organization and Purpose

The main duty of the genetic committee is educating the society on the value and uses of genetic techniques for the conservation of freshwater mollusks. The genetics committee also has a role in disseminating genetic information to the members of the society relating to systematics and population genetics and genomics. The committee also serves as a source of expertise and guidance on genetics issues for academics, government and non-government organizations, and the society in general. The genetics committee has hosted and co-hosted several FMCS workshops, including the Conservation Genetics workshop at NCTC in 2016 and the Species Status Assessment in San Antonio, TX in 2019 and welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with other FMCS committees to better serve our Society.
