#ConservationOptimism: Cumbrian #FreshwaterMussels reproduce for first time in 13 years https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cumbria-65809650
"Only a handful of freshwater #shellfish populations remain in #England. #Conservationists have been monitoring the #RiverIrt, home to the #CriticallyEndangered population of ~300 mussels.
To try and help the #mussels, they have been improving the habitat by stabilising the river bank, #PlantingTrees and adding boulders to the water. They also released juvenile mussels."
