No matter how good life can be going at one point, it is inevitable that trial, tribulation, and turmoil will strike. This is the unfortunate case for Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT. Researchers warn that an invasive spiny water flea is expected to show up in the Lake soon, disrupting the lake's ecosystem and making game fishing more difficult. The cause of this you are probably wondering. The Burlington Free Press reports the flea has invaded a nearby New York lake and is headed towards Champlain through the Champlain Canal. This presents a potentially dreadful predicament and a sad day this might be; however, researchers are dedicated to prevent this plight from occurring as well as solving the problem of easy access of species through the Canal. A final food for thought: what will you do to help your economy on the water?
