On the bottom of the Suså river lives the Thick Shelled River Mussel (Unio crassus). But there are only a few living specimens left. Therefore, the EU has granted 9.3 million DKK to the municipality of Næstved to improve its living conditions and create more habitats. The goal is that in five years there will be 7.000 Thick Shelled River Mussel in the Suså river, and more fish species.
