News that people are becoming very concerned that Asian carp (presumably deliberately released) might move from the Illinois river into the Great Lakes around Chicago (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26237863). This alien could certainly devastate the biota of these enormous freshwater bodies. The 'cure', however, could prove extremely costly.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
