A revised version of the Give Water A Hand materials has been completed by the University of Wisconsin. Minnesota Sea Grant has produced a wallet-sized card to aid anglers in identifying the round goby, a new, potentially harmful exotic fish found in parts of the Great Lakes. Cards are available from Great Lakes state Sea Grant offices or state resource management agencies.
