Catastrophe on the Wilde!
A week ago, people in Southland found dead fish in the Wilde
River. For the next two days, so many fish died that the people
could not fish for food…
The next day, people in Northland found some
dead fish near the mouth of the Wilde River. They
could have kept fishing, but they stopped just to be
safe.
That night, the news reported that two days before the
trouble in Southland, Eastend had so many dead fish that it had to stop fishing and such
bad drinking water that it had to stop collecting out of the
river.
Detective ReportDetective ReportYour job now is to write your Detective Report. Using all the information you’ve gathered on your map, make a statement about what probably caused problems in all three countries…
• Northland wants to generate electricity. • It decides to build a dam across the river
next to Springfield. • Fish that live in the ocean need to get
back up the river to Moore Lake in order to reproduce.

• There is no way for the fish to get upstream past the dam. • Once the dam is built, the area behind it
will be flooded for miles and will become a lake half the size of Moore Lake.

• People of Fairview love to go boating on the Wilde River on the weekends.
• However, the people don’t like it when seaweed growing in the river gets wrapped around their propellers.

• Eastend decides to put herbicide in the river to kill the seaweed.
• This same seaweed is home to the tiny Wilde Minnow, that provides food for the larger fish in the river.
• Without the seaweed, the minnows will die.
