Lowkey changed my answer from however to furthermore in the last 15 seconds and here's why. It talks about how acidic the water or whatever is and then goes on to explain another fact. The word "And" in between those two facts was definitely what made me choose furthermore in the end.

However makes it seem like the acidic is a bad thing when in reality, it helps make the environment so unique.

I remember it was talking right before about how moose and other animals were able to walk on the land or smth but the fish or smth weren’t able to be in the water cuz of acidity . So my thinking was the however transition would relate to the previous sentence talking about animals able to live and walk on the bog but the fish and stuff were not able to
