Episode 10 - Great Lakes Invaders
Michigan Sea Grant brings you more fun-filled, family-friendly videos, jam-packed full of Great Lakes fun facts, activity suggestions for your family, and daily challenges.
In this episode, Michigan Sea Grant educator Meaghan Gass teaches us about different species that have “invaded” the Great Lakes! Learn about sea lamprey, quagga and zebra mussels and more, and how YOU can help to keep more invaders from getting into our lakes. Our challenge this week is to be a detective and learn more about these invaders at Nab the Aquatic Invaders: http://www.iiseagrant.org/NabInvader.
