In this issue of the GLMRIS newsletter, we invite you to meet a couple key
members of the GLMRIS Team and introduce you to the first interim GLMRIS
product: a white paper to better define the species of concern in the study
area. If you haven't already, be sure to visit the GLMRIS Web site, find us

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in consultation with other federal
agencies, Native American tribes, state agencies, local governments and
non-governmental organizations, is conducting GLMRIS: a feasibility study
that evaluates a range of options and technologies to prevent the transfer of
aquatic nuisance species between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River by
aquatic pathways.

The Corps solicited public comment on the scope of GLMRIS from November 16,
2010 through March 31, 2011. Over 900 comments were submitted through the
GLMRIS Web site, mail and 12 public scoping meetings held throughout the
Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. All comments, as well as
transcripts from the public meetings, have been posted to the GLMRIS Web
site.
