RE: Opening the Locks between Green Bay and Lake Winnebago
greg:
i did a search on "great lakes invasive species" and got over 400,000 hits. a few are below. the first has a link to some of the worst invaders. my take on the lock now and when i first heard about it, was that it was a pandora's box. heck, they closed off winnebago from the great lakes to prevent this sort of thing. once it's reopened it wont be 5 years before invasives start to show up. one of our jewels, houghton lake, featured in the first link is on the verge of having to be poisoned again to control Eurasian milfoil. that article doesn't even mention the damage caused by zebra mussels and rusty crayfish. http://www.detnews.com/2005/project/...Z06-275419.htm http://www.great-lakes.net/envt/flor.../invasive.html http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/invasive/index.html http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncer_abstracts/.../1057/report/0 http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/Programs/invasive/ when we lose the 2nd. amendment the others will be history too! |

RE: Opening the Locks between Green Bay and Lake Winnebago
They (the tourism folks, lakefront property owners, etc.) KNOW that invasive species will eventually enter into the system, they simply don't care. Anyone naive enough to think that their "boat lift" system will stop this, really has no clue. Once the system has been infected, they will say, "Oh well, we tried to stop them. Sorry about that, but what's done is done. You fishermen will just have to deal with our screw up now." Dave S |
