Discover Great Lakes Food Webs and Predators: Why Are Fish Important?
Food webs are the hidden threads connecting all living organisms. Top predators like fish are vital to maintain ecosystem balance. The Roth lab at MSU is composed of Fisheries and Wildlife professionals who will teach families about food webs and the roles of top fish predators in the Great Lakes. Participants will play a fishing game that illustrates connections among Great Lakes organisms and view an interactive poster showing energy flow through various species. These activities will foster appreciation for our waters and build awareness of Great Lakes health. Come get hooked on the Great Lakes!
