Millcreek Township in Erie County and WQLN-TV have produced a new video on aquatic invasive species and what citizens can do to recognize these species and prevent their spread.
Dr. James Grazio, Aquatic Biologists with DEP’s Office of the Great Lakes, discusses the environmental, economic and health impacts of just a few of the invasive species like zebra mussels, the Asian or Big Head carp and sea lamprey.
