The arrival of over 180 aquatic non-native species in the Great Lakes has been largely facilitated by the actions of humans. It has been suggested, for instance that as many as 80% of invasives have come into the Great Lakes through ocean-going vessels alone. Jim Robinett of the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, IL will discuss the breadth of invasive species diversity and the impact of some of those that have already become established. Robinett will also examine why the reality of invasive species is sobering, and the efforts to prevent further destruction by other species such as the Asian Carp.

One can only *HOPE* they show up.Yes, they would have to be pretty fsioolh to show up. Considering the level of wisdom they've already shown in the past, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do show up.
