The bi-national Great Lakes Fishery Commission is spreading awareness of a blood-sucking fish that has been wreaking havoc to ecosystems for decades.
“They can inflict incredible damage,” Marc Gaden of the Great Lakes Comission told CTV’s Your Morning on Monday. Sea lampreys made their way to North America through shipping canals in the Atlantic Ocean more than a century ago, causing severe damage in the 1950s and early 1960s that led to the collapse of the Great Lakes fishery and nearly destroying the ecosystem.
“People need to know that the destructive invasive species did inflict incredible damage on the fishery. They're like a coiled spring and if you let go of all control they’re going to bounce back again,” Gaden said.
LOL I thought you said CTV threatens Canadian cultural ecosystem there... that would have been so funny. What an imagination I have eh....
Sounds like a Mascot for the Liberal NDP coalition.
Problem solved.
