Great Lakes United.
A U.S. study
conducted by the Center
for Aquatic Conservation at the University
of Notre Dame and University of Wyoming suggests
invasive species brought in by ocean-going ships
may be costing the Great Lakes region more than
$200 million a year in losses to commerical fishing,
sport fishing, and the area's water supply.

Show Invasive Species Cost the Great Lakes Millions: New Paper
Assigns Dollar Figure to Effects of Shipborne Invaders (Mar
29, 2012)
University of Notre Dame.
Researchers assigns a dollar figure on the cost to
the Great Lakes from invasive species that originate in the ballast water of
ocean-going vessels. For the U.S. waters, median damages aggregated across multiple
ecosystem services were $138 million per year, and there is a 5% chance that
for sportfishing alone losses exceeded $800 million annually. For information,
see the journal article "Ship-borne
Nonindigenous Species Diminish Great Lakes Ecosystem Services."
