Why Freshwater Ecosystems Are Important
reshwater ecosystems are crucial for maintaining biodiversity, providing habitats for a wide range of species, including the Atlantic salmon. They offer essential services such as water purification, flood regulation, and support for recreational activities. Healthy freshwater systems are indicators of overall environmental health and are vital for human well-being. Protecting these ecosystems ensures the survival of species that depend on them and maintains the ecological balance necessary for a sustainable environment.
