When starry stonewort was first discovered in a Wisconsin lake, alarm set in—officials scrambled, residents feared the worst, and drastic measures were taken. But ten years later, an unexpected truth has emerged: sometimes, the best response to an invasive species is to do less, not more. In this episode, we unravel the science behind how humans react to new invaders, challenge fear-based messaging, and explore the power of waiting and watching.Looking for ways to tone down your language around aquatic invasive species? Here are some helpful phrases created by our guest Jeanne Scherer:Non-native species are known to have varying degrees of impacts depending on the specific waterbody they are found in, and in some cases are able to integrate into a waterbody to the extent where actual documented impacts are minimal and active management may not be necessary. Reporting invasive species is a first step in containing their spread. Maintaining and restoring our waters and landscapes can reduce the impacts even when we don't have other management options to an invasive species.Transcript available here.Special thanks to our guests:Paul Skawinski, UW-Stevens Point Extension LakesTom Reck, former Little Muskego Lake District chairpersonBret Shaw, University of Wisconsin-Extension, University of Wisconsin-MadisonJeanne Scherer, University of Wisconsin-Extension and University of Wisconsin-MadisonLearn more:Starry stonewortTesting Emphasis Message Frames and Metaphors on Social Media to Engage Boaters to Learn about Preventing the Spread of Zebra MusselsIs the cure worse than the disease?

Today, we're airing a bonus episode from Points North, a podcast about the land, water, and inhabitants of the Great Lakes from Interlochen Public Radio.Invasive species often spread by hitching a ride on anglers, especially anglers who don't clean their gear after fishing. Though this is widely known, research suggests many anglers still don't clean, even though it protects the very thing they're after – fish. So, can anything be done to change their minds? Hear about New Zealand Mudsnail in Michigan.Transcript available here.CreditsProducer / Host: Dan WanschuraEditor: Morgan SpringerMusic: Fifteen Street, Our Only Lark, Silent Ocean, and Sweeper by Blue Dot Sessions

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Introduced will be returning for a new season in 2024! But in the meantime, we're sharing a fascinating, fishy episode from our friends at Points North, an award-winning podcast about the land, water and inhabitants of the Great Lakes.In October 1960, Prince Akihito of Japan visited Chicago for 21 hours. Chicago's mayor presented the prince with a diplomatic gift: 18 bluegill. What happened next would change the underwater world of Japan forever.

Today, we're introducing a new podcast from Wisconsin Sea Grant called The Water We Swim In, which features stories about the Great Lakes and the people working toward equity. On “Hidden Currents,” Bonnie Willison and Hali Jama dive beneath the water to explore why Black children are drowning more than any other race, why marginalized communities often lack access to swimming pools, and how to stay safe in the water. We hear about the alarming trend facing swimming pools in cities across the nation, relive a fight to save one Milwaukee pool, and walk the shores of Lake Michigan with the Beach Ambassador program. Join us as Brenda Coley, Jumana Tanner, Cheryl Bledsoe, Sally Callan, and Deidre Peroff discuss how racism, segregation and redlining has taken away Black people's access to water and, essentially, the right to swim. https://www.seagrant.wisc.edu/audio/the-water-we-swim-in/ (Find The Water We Swim In here)

Today, on the last episode of season two, we're talking about climate change, which threatens to upend everything western science understands about native and invasive species.   First, we join the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission climate change team as they carefully observe the seasonal relationships between all the beings in the forest. Then we talk to the Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu team, who are helping tribal nations find ways to assert their knowledge and adapt to climate change. Finally, we step back 20,000 years to see what paleoecology can teach us about how species move as the climate changes.  Thank you to our guests Rob Croll, Hannah Panci, Sara Smith, Jerry Jondreau and Jack Williams.  http://glifwc.org/ClimateChange/ (GLIFWC's Climate Change Program ) - http://glifwc.org/ClimateChange/ http://glifwc.org/ClimateChange/PhenologyStudy.html (GLIFWC's Phenology study ) - http://glifwc.org/ClimateChange/PhenologyStudy.html http://www.nicrn.org/tribal-climate-adaptation-menu.html (Dibaginjigaadeg Anishinaabe Ezhitwaad - A Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu ) - http://www.nicrn.org/tribal-climate-adaptation-menu.html https://wicci.wisc.edu/wisconsin-climate-trends-and-projections/ (More on climate change impacts in Wisconsin ) - https://wicci.wisc.edu/wisconsin-climate-trends-and-projections/

We're excited to share an episode of Teach Me About the Great Lakes featuring the Introduced team! This episode is all about invasive species generally, and invasive crayfish specifically. TMAGL speaks again with Dr. Brian Roth about his work on invasive crayfish and with IISG's own Greg Hitzroth about the Invasive Crayfish Collaborative. Plus, in a special bonus, we speak with the hosts of Introduced, a highly produced, episodic podcast about invasive species from our colleagues at Wisconsin Sea Grant. Today's guests are Dr. Brian Roth of Michigan State University, Greg Hitzroth of Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, and the producers of the Introduced podcast: Bonnie Willison, Sydney Widell, and special guest Tim Campbell.

A brief summary of this episode

Wisconsin Sea Grant takes a trip to the world's largest electric fish dispersal barriers, just south of Chicago. These barriers are sending electricity into the canal for one purpose- to keep Asian Carp from swimming into the Great Lakes.  EDIT: In this episode, we state that the dense and reproducing carp population is 20 miles downstream of the electric carp barriers. This is incorrect - the dense and reproducing Asian Carp population is located 100 miles downstream of the barriers in the Peoria and La Grange pools of the Illinois River. Special thanks to our guests Duane Chapman, Tim Campbell, Kevin Irons, Elena Blevins and Titus Seilheimer. Thank you to the US Army Corps of Engineers and Chuck Shea for a tour of the electric barriers.     How to identify Bighead, Silver, Black, and Grass Carp: http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/species-especes/profiles-profils/asiancarp-carpeasiatique-eng.html   Up-to-date information about Asian Carp in the US: http://asiancarp.us/
