Monitoring and Controlling Invasive Species in the Great Lakes

February 18 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Free

What do sea lamprey, zebra and quagga mussels, round goby, and phragmites all have in common? They have invaded the Great Lakes and are changing the entire ecosystem.

Join us for a webinar that highlights some of the current research around monitoring and controlling invasive species in the Great Lakes.

Panelists will include:

  • Harvey Bootsma, Associate Dean & Professor, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences
  • Janice Gilbert, Executive Director, Invasive Phragmites Control Centre, Ontario
  • Sara Good, Professor of Genetics and Genomics, University of Winnipeg
  • Steve Pothoven, Fishery Biologist, NOAA GLERL Lake Michigan Field Station, Michigan

This event is co-hosted by the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin and is part of a quarterly online water symposium series in partnership with the Great Lakes Higher Education Consortium, an initiative of the Council of the Great Lakes Region. These events seek to encourage and advance collaborations, share science across borders, encourage students in research and career opportunities, and present research that solves real-world problems.
