6. Theory on health
• Our theory on the mullet river is that it is
mostly healthy. We found organisms that
need clean water to live. We also found some
organisms that can live in very low amounts of
chemicals. This means there are some spots
with low amounts of chemicals and some with
no chemicals.

7. Maintaining or Improving
• Tell people how littering effects the process of
eutrophication. That if this process increases
the river will become a meadow over time and
it will no longer exist.
