ACCIDENTLY OR PURPOSELY INTRODUCED WILDLIFE THAT HAS HARMED LAKE ERIE.

HARMFUL EXOTICS

MANY EXOTIC PLANTS AND FISH HAVE BEEN ADDED TO LAKE ERIE BY PEOPLE, TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND AIRBORNE TRANSMISSION. MANY OF THESE HAVE MANIFESTED TERRIBLE PROBLEMS TO THE LAKE. ONGOING PROJECTS ARE IN PLACE TO IDENTIFY, CONTAIN AND ELIMINATE THESE EXOTIC SPECIES.

THIS SITE POINTS OUT THAT THE SIMPLE EVENT OF RELEASING A FISH FROM YOUR FISH TANK INTO ANOTHER VENUE CAN HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
