December 2, 2007, 9:39am (report abuse)I feel that it is important to adopt this bill which would prevent the introduction of more nonindigenous invasive species to the lakes. The Great Lakes ecosystems are vulnerable to invasive species and food chains are already degrading. Past experiences show how easily non-native species establish themselves in the food web in the Great Lakes. The prime example of this are the zebra mussels.
