Why are mussel populations declining?
Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this episode:
<ul>
 <li>The alarming decline in mussel populations in Eau Claire County.</li>
 <li>Understanding the impact of water pollution, degradation, and infrastructure on mussel species</li>
 <li>Protecting mussels through citizen science and research efforts</li>
</ul>
Find out from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/breanneklockzien/">Breanne Klockzien</a> - an Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator for <a href="https://www.beavercreekreserve.org/">Beaver Creek Reserve</a>.
Bre shares her research on mussel monitoring in Eau Claire County, revealing a significant decline in mussel population and species abundance since the 2012 survey. This decline is attributed to water pollution, degradation, and infrastructure development. 
Bre and her team followed protocols from the Wisconsin Muscle Monitoring Program and enlisted volunteers to survey the streams. The next steps include using the data for policy change and continuing citizen science efforts. It’s clear that Bre, part of the Lake Monitoring and Protection Network, is dedicated to protecting Wisconsin waters.
