Help identify invasive species with IISG’s new Asian Carp watch card

Posted February 6th, 2012 in Aquatic Invasive Species, News

Sea Grant’s bighead and silver carp WATCH card is new and improved. In addition to the fresh design, we’ve changed the card to highlight the term “Asian carp” to match what people are hearing in the media, added pictures of the juvenile fish in comparison with a native shad, and included the national STOP Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) phone number.

In late July, formal and non-formal educators joined @nature_indiana, @indianadnr Division of Nature Preserves, and @lakecountyparks for a workshop exploring ecological restoration in the Grand Calumet River Area of Concern.

Participants toured restored sites in East Chicago and Hammond, engaged with experts in sediment remediation and habitat restoration, and experienced a cutting-edge Virtual Reality curriculum aligned with NGSS for grades 6–12.

From industrial past to ecological renewal, educators left inspired and equipped to bring local environmental stories into their classrooms.
