This is fucking sickening. US Fish & Wildlife has revitalized trout levels in Lake Superior to normal levels as of November 2024. This will be so bad for the environment, the livelihood of Native Americans and locals who rely on commercial fishing, Great Lakes economy, tourism, Canada. #SeaLamprey

Really, really awesome documentary. I once found a native lamprey nest in the Eau Claire River in Wausau, WI. They are freaky. Never have seen an alewife. #salmonfever #sealamprey #greatlakes #lakesuperior #TFM #laketrout #science #alewife #alewives #waterscience
