A series of short documentaries covering invasive species in the Great Lakes was released in October, showing how invaders are changing the ecosystems in national parks and what’s being done to stop them. Videos were created by the National Park Service funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Part 1 covers aquatic invaders – how invasive mussels and round goby may be throwing off the Lake Michigan food web and causing avian botulism outbreaks, and what you can do to help.
