News
The ICC creates a crayfish curriculum for Great Lakes educators
Explore our NGSS and CCSS-aligned science lessons designed to teach students about freshwater ecosystems and the important role crayfish play in the Great Lakes region. These hands-on lessons are adaptable for grades 2-12.
Aquatic invasive species are more widespread in Wisconsin than previously thought
A long-term research program has helped inform WI DNR maps and datasets on six target species since the 1990s, including the rusty crayfish.
Kodiak hosts third crayfish derby of the year
Buskin Lake and River are the only places in the state reported to have signal crayfish, an invasive species. In an effort to keep the population low, a Louisiana tradition is prospering in Alaska.
This selection of invasive crayfish information is collected by the Invasive Crayfish Collaborative, a program convened and facilitated by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and the Illinois Natural History Survey with funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
