Why is mussel relocation and monitoring necessary?
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>What’s the vital role of mussels in filtering water and maintaining freshwater ecosystems?</li>
 <li>How to protect mussels from habitat disruption</li>
 <li>How Wisconsin Water Week highlights the importance of mussel conservation and freshwater health?</li>
</ul>
Hear from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-gryga-350a77296/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emily Gryga</a> - a Wetland Ecologist at <a href="https://www.geiconsultants.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GEI Consultants, Inc.</a>
Emily shares her research and work on mussel relocation and monitoring in the Wisconsin River. Due to bridge work and potential habitat disruption, mussels are being relocated to new locations. These mussels play a crucial role in filtering water and are an imperiled species. 
Emily emphasizes the importance of mussels in freshwater ecosystems and their sensitivity to water pollutants and sedimentation. She also reflects on her personal journey and the pride she feels in saving endangered species, all while participating in Wisconsin Water Week.
