At Take Your Child to Work Day, @StateDept and Great Lakes Fishery Commission hosted a lamprey booth to show how the United States is working together to protect America’s $5.2B Great Lakes fishery. Keeping invasive sea lampreys in check, because lampreys suck! Special thanks to @DeputySecState for stopping by to meet the kids and the lamprey!

Hidden Below: The Great Lakes@HiddenBelowFilm

This isn’t the ocean. It’s the Great Lakes. "Hidden Below" is now in production — a new @TVOdocs documentary that uses robots to reveal the underwater world, from familiar species to ones you won’t believe live here.

#DidYouKnow #invasive quagga mussels in the #GreatLakes got their name from a striped African mammal? Related to zebra mussels, the quagga mussels’ less distinct striping inspired Dr. Ellen Marsden to name it after the quagga, a zebra subspecies. #DYK doi.org/10.1139/f92-166

Trends in nutrient status indicate that Lake Erie had steady productivity during the 2021–2025 State of the Lake reporting period with a mean Trophic State Index (TSI) of 39.7. TSI is an index that combines phosphorus, Secchi depth, & Chlorophyll-a into one metric. #2026LakeCmtes

Invasive mussels are ~90% of animal biomass on the floor of the lower 4 Great Lakes. The USGS Great Lakes Science Center is pioneering automated computer vision algorithms to detect mussels & estimate density from photos, supporting the SWIM project. More: glc.org/work/swim

Tracking Trout! Researchers are using acoustic telemetry to track adult lake trout around Lake Ontario to find spawning areas and better understand how habitat may be limiting restoration goals. Questions? Contact Alex Gatch (USGS). #2026LakeCmtes

While not all restoration objectives have been met, most indicators are trending upwards for lake trout rehabilitation in Lake Huron. Multiple agencies are cooperating on assessing these populations in both Canadian and US waters. #2026LakeCmtes

New research using acoustic telemetry has revealed 65% of walleyes in Saginaw Bay are spawning in open water while just 35% in rivers. A huge surprise to researchers and this helps explain how the population keeps expanding. Important implications for habitat work. #2026LakeCmtes
