You can help the Great Lakes

Our innovation project focused on creating a small, inexpensive tool that can help identify and count the number of invasive specicies throughout the Great Lakes. Through working on our project we learned that there are lots of people working to keep the Great Lakes clean too.

We interviewed Mr. White from the USGS, a local expert reseacher that studies the round goby. The USGS is just one of the many organizations working to keep the Great Lakes clean.

Check out our list of organizations that are helping too.
