references, fact sheets, and collection records - for 185
established Great Lakes aquatic nonindigenous species. GLANSIS is
searchable geographically (by watershed and lake) as well as by
scientific and common name.
GLANSIS is supported by NOAA and
was developed in partnership with USGS to function as a Great Lakes
