Description

Learn about the biological challenges facing one of the world's most important freshwater systems. This book examines the history and impact of non-indigenous species (NIS) within the Great Lakes ecosystem. From the arrival of the Sea Lamprey in the 1830s via the Erie and Welland canals to the more than 185 other species that have since entered the region, this text provides a deep look at how these organisms change their environment. Readers will find information on the thirteen species specifically labeled as invasive due to the ecological or economic harm they cause. The content focuses on the practical application of data and tools available to U.S. Great Lakes resource managers. By exploring methods to prevent the establishment of aquatic NIS and mapping vulnerable habitats, this book serves as a resource for understanding how to protect these vital waters from further biological threats.
