Altered flow regimes
Changes in the river's flow patterns resulting from anti-erosion efforts can affect mussel populations.
Habitat fragmentation
Some anti-erosion measures like the installation of groynes or revetments can fragment the river's habitat.
Positive
Combats rising heat temps
Provides the mussel with shade which cools the temperature of the water, combatting heat rises
Improves water quality
Anti-erosion garden beds prevent soil and coastal runoffs from polluting river sides by creating a strong level of reinforcement
Raises awareness to local and wider community
Social media efforts to create global traction
Help to reduce local tourism by raising awareness
Can help initiative wider protection for other creatures in the river
By preserving the mussel's habitat, other species can benefit form their survival
Improve the Glenelg river's water health which supports other species both above and below water
Create richer bio-diversity with plants
Cost effective
Use of recycled resources
Not a lot of external resources are required
Volunteer driven via social media promotion
