Weekly Meeting: The Round Goby Threat to Lake Champlain

Lake Champlain is home to hundreds of bird and fish species and draws visitors from around the world with its scenic vistas, fishing, boating, paddling, swimming, bird watching, cycling, and so
much more. For good reason, it’s considered by locals as “a little piece of paradise.” But the recent
discovery of the round goby, a small fish native to southeastern European, which is now in the Hudson River threatens the lake, native fish and birds, and local families and businesses.

This week, Stuart Gruskin, chief conservation and external affairs officer at the Nature Conservancy, will discuss how the state can stop the invasive from getting into Lake Champlain and destroying the ecosystem.
