Pandora’s Locks – The Opening of the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaways by Jeff Alexander
Jeff Alexander puts “the pieces of the story together” of what has happened to the Great Lakes with the introduction, over the last 50 years, of more than 185 invasive species into this precious resource. Twenty percent of the earth’s fresh water is contained in these magnificent lakes. There have been a variety of articles about this far reaching, complicated, tragedy, but Jeff puts all the parts of the story and the challenges together. The inland lakes are also part of the puzzle.
Jeff will present this story on September 8, Tuesday afternoon at 1:30, in the Community Meeting Room of the lower level of the Leelanau County Government and Community Building. For anyone who lives near or on the Great Lakes or an inland lake, especially in Leelanau County or the Grand Traverse area, this is a speaker you won’t want to miss. Jeff chronicles the implications of invasive species since the opening of the Welland Canal and the St. Lawrence Seaway.
