Great Lakes Invasive Species Videos
A new animated video series developed by the Great Lakes Aquatic Nonindigenous Species Information System (GLANSIS) and Michigan Sea Grant tells the story of how some of the Great Lakes’ worst aquatic invasive species were introduced to the region – and highlights management victories and the future of research along the way.
Learn more about the videos or check out the YouTube playlist.
The five-part series, "Managing Great Lakes Invaders," was developed in collaboration with AIS experts and regional partners and produced by Big Foot Media. Each short video focuses on a different Great Lakes invasion story.
The "Capstone" video serves as an introduction to the series.
The “Ballast Water” video shows how organisms stowing away in the ballast tanks of ocean-going vessels have had a dramatic impact on Great Lakes invasion rates, until a combination of new technology and legislation cut off this invasion vector.
“Sea Lamprey” showcases the effects of an invasive, parasitic fish that devastated Great Lakes fisheries until technological breakthroughs – and vigilant management – turned the tide.
“Zebra and Quagga Mussels” demonstrates how tiny dreissenid mussels have enormous ecological and economic impacts on the Great Lakes and beyond, and how businesses and residents are adapting to live with them as research into new control methods continues.
Finally, “Invasive Carp” addresses the looming threat posed by four introduced species of fish – bighead, silver, black, and grass carp – and the basin-wide effort to keep them out of the Great Lakes.
To learn more about the species featured in this video series, check out the GLANSIS database or contact program manager Rochelle Sturtevant at rochelle.sturtevant@noaa.gov.
