Stop the Reef Thief!

Type: Presentation

Description:
Did you know that you don't have to travel to the ocean to see a reef? Join conservation staff from The Nature Conservancy to learn about reefs that are found in the Great Lakes! At our booth, you get to be the ecosystem engineer for the day. Design your own reef to provide habitat for some of Michigan's common native fish species, then take on the role of predator or prey to put your design to the test. We’ll have hands-on examples to teach you about some of the common native and non-native invasive species found in the Great Lakes.
