Crayfish Invasion
Invasive crayfish from the east have been spotted for the 1st time west of the Rockies, in a river in Eastern Oregon and a stream in Corvallis. They were shipped to elementary schools for biology classes and then released where they don’t belong by well meaning children or their teachers. 


This perspective from Louisiana on Sea Grant’s research on invasive species in the classroom make a good news article for teachers to share with their classes.

Daily Comet

Well known and syndicated political cartoonist, Jack Ohman with the  Oregonian, drew a clever cartoon about the consequences of releasing invasive species and the school connection. Mr. Ohman cares about the issue and was generous in allowing us to use his cartoon with compliments:

"You're welcome to spread the cartoon as an invasive species, as needed. With my compliments."
