That little baitfish could be our new best friend. They eat water fleas!

I would also point out that Burlington has a pretty good system compared to some other facilities.

Lake Champlain may not be in as much trouble......as long as there are lots of Perch, Sunfish and Bass to eat them..... "The self-sustaining populations of the spiny water flea, an invasive species, suggest a greater problem in the Great Lakes, according to researchers. “They reflect a disrupti...
