Jim Wright Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 The Shedd Aquarium has a new program to help bring awareness to invasive species and to tell the difference from indigenous species. It is mainly focused on the Great Lakes watershed, however reports may come from most anywhere A free smartphone app is the cornerstone for this program: Great Lakes Fish Finder. The app features a photo log that can be submitted to Shedd for help in determining which species had been found. which in turn may help combat the spread of invasives. Other features include, an interactive map and, a field guide for specie identification. My daughter, Jamie is interning at Shedd in their sustainability dept. The powers that be there asked, “How do we get this app in the hands of fisherman?” Jamie mentioned my ISA membership and had asked me to tell my ISA buddies to help bring more awareness to this.
