Hello! We are the the sister solvers and we are here to figure out why or what has caused the disappearing mussels !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
That is it for our presintation! We are persuaded that the answer to the problem is the human activity, which includes pollution. Have a great day, and remember, DONT KILL THE MUSSELS!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are primarily responsible for the disappearance of mussels through water pollution and changes to their physical habitat wrought by the construction of dams, dredging and the introduction of exotic species.

Freshwater mussels may start disappearing from dinner plates as species increasingly become extinct or endangered by human activities, scientists say. North America has historically had a very diverse community of freshwater mussels, but populations have been on the decline for the past few decades

# data[].attributes.body
Because of the population, we have the result that the animals that live off the water, (otter, because they swim in it, and deer, because they drink off it) are also decreasing in this period.

Large shovels are used to remove the stream or lake bottom. If you are a freshwater mussel living on the stream or lake bottom you will be carried away along with the sand, gravel, and cobble and piled up on land. Freshwater mussels cannot survive on land.

Over the years, millions of freshwater mussels were harvested for the button industry.

Chemicals from factories and garbage that is dumped into the streams and lakes can harm or even kill freshwater mussels.

Our answer is the human activity including pollution. The lancer farm, which is close to the river has effect, because it could be creating poison, which kills weed. it could be getting in the water, which kills wildlife, which includes mussels. Also the overflow of water could push the mussels on to the land, where they can not survive.
