Russ Strach of Great Lakes Science Center Was Our Speaker At Our Lunch On June 8th.
Today's weekly club meeting was held offsite at President Scott Nelson's scholastic workplace and conference room at the Great Lakes Science Center, a unique agency operated by the US Dept of Interior.
We received a fascinating presentation by Director Russ Strach.
He opened his talk by stating that the five Great Lakes should really be regarded a five additional states of the US due to their diverse ecosystems and populations.
He then covered the state of flora and fauna (i.e., fish populations) that GLSC monitors and is researching many types of threats and vulnerabilities posed by invasive species, climate change, industry and human activity. What an informative vocational event- Thanks to Rotary!
