Lake Erie Faces Non-Native Species

Length: 6 minutes

Sea Grant advises residents of the Erie area about fish and other wildlife that has been impacted by pollution in the Lake. Two species Sea Grant works with are the round goby fish and the zebra clam, both of which convey toxins through the food chain. It is part of the National Sea Grant program. The introduction of non-native species can pose real threats to ecosystems, as they do here. Advice from groups like Sea Grant help us deal with situation like this one.

Produced by the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania as part of the GreenWorks for Pennsylvania Television show entitled, Erie and Its Environment.
