Invasive species
Water on the Web

Invasive species are a real problem for those working and living around the Great Lakes. They can be damaging to the ecosystem, particularly agriculture and natural resources, which in turn could affect the health of animals and humans. To learn more about different kinds of invasive species, check out the links below. If you are UW faculty, staff or student, please check out our recommended reading list. The Water Library also has a list of readings for Wisconsin Residents.
