		Crossing the state line, the river pauses in deep pools, dropping now and then through a number of small rapids, finishing its journey down to the Oostanaula River in Georgia.
		One of the country's six most biologically diverse river systems, the Conasauga River is home to nearly 50 protected species of animals, including 24 rare and endangered aquatic species, such as the Conasauga logperch, the amber darter, and the blue shiner.
		The Conasauga River watershed is one of the most biologically diverse river systems in the United States, containing one of the last diverse populations of freshwater mussels in the entire Coosa River basin.

		The primary causes of habitat loss in the Etowah River system result from impoundments, siltation, point source and nonpoint source pollution which includes, but is not limited to, municipal and industrial waste discharges, agricultural runoff from crop monoculture and poultry farms, poultry processing plants, and silvicultural activities.

	About the Oostanaula River — NERA
		For a river basin in a temperate climate, the Coosa River basin has the greatest number of endemic fish species in the world.
		The Oostanaula River’s fish population is unique in the variety of minnows and darters found in the water of the basin.
		The loss of five species from the Upper Coosa River Basin--one of which originated in Gordon County--and the continuing imperilment of other species, indicates that water quality and habitat for these animals and other aquatic species is poor or declining.
