As
the temperature rises and we head into summer, many of us will be heading
towards the water. Michigan truly is a “water wonderland”, surrounded by the
Great Lakes and home to thousands of inland lakes, rivers, and streams.
Unfortunately, many of these aquatic systems have been significantly changed by
invasive, non-native plants and animals – and it seems like there is a new
invader discovered every day! During this webcast, we will take a look at some
of the aquatic invasive species now found in Michigan, and some that are
knocking on our door. We’ll also discuss a variety of ways to help stop the
spread and protect our lakes and streams.
