Boat Trip

There were a few things that I learned about on our trip. For one, I learned quite a lot about limestone, due to one of our tour guides’s obsession with it. Like, it makes things les acidic. Another thing I learned how different invasive species effect our lakes. Like, how sea lamprey have effected our lake trout population. Before, I just knew they were a problem. But now I know how they specifically effect our lake. One more thing I learned was how simple things can determine how our lake is doing. Like, how clear the water is can determine how many creatures (how much plankton) is in the water. I wish I had the opportunity to go back. It made me wonder about some things. For example, do places with less or more limestone get different results/creatures when it comes to water? And how do other minerals effect life in lakes?
