On May 27, Doug Jensen from Minnesota Sea Grant will present "Silent Invasion of the Great Lakes: How fish have been introduced into Lake Superior” at 3:15 pm on Friday, May 27.
Doug has a lot to share about invasive species. He is well known for the national campaign Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers! which helps boaters and anglers curb the spread of zebra mussels and Eurasian watermilfoil. Another of his projects, Habitattitude, helps keep non-native pets (think goldfish) and plants out of the environment.
The R/V Blue Heron will tie up during the "LLO Science On Deck" sessions in the Twin Ports harbor at the Great Lakes Aquarium, 353 Harbor Drive in Duluth.
