An unexpected rescue in the salvage of the Costa Concordia. Scientists discovered rare pinna nobilis mussels at the wreck site and are relocating them so that they are not destroyed by the salvage work. Thanks to Phil Leon for pointing it out.

I like to eat mussels, but I bet those at that size are tough as leather.
A fortuitous outcome~
I agree with Phil.. Bigger is not always better.. especially with mussels..
