GLIN==> Amazing change in Great Lakes, Michigan Today article

Hello,

Recently published in Michigan Today magazine is an electronic slide show, video and article about the changes in the Great Lakes ecosystem.

Writer Jim Erickson interviewed Dave Jude, UM fishery biologist and researcher at the School of Natural Resources and Environment. Jude has observed the impact that various invasive species have had upon the Great Lakes ecosystem. Erickson joined Jude aboard the R/V Laurentian and noted the rapid changes in the ecosystem due to the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels. Previously, Jude received support from Sea Grant to investigate the invasive round goby.

Michigan Sea Grant provided Erickson with photos and background information for this multi-media piece.

Also, below are links to more information about aquatic invasive species.
