#I'm not even joking about the invasive species being everywhere either

[its-captain-sir]

doing research on the lake michigan ecosystem and ngl this stuff is depressing. the amount of invasive species across all ecological levels is Insane like there's not a single thing that hasn't been horribly impacted and worse is the fact that most of these invasions occurred in like the second half of the 1900s. like we did immense and irreparable damage to an incredibly unique subset of ecosystems that really doesn't show up anywhere else on earth in just 50 years? cool cool cool. cool.
