Murray says one of the most well known invasive species is the round goby. She says this small fish is about 3-6 inches in length and is native to Eurasia, where you’ll find them in the Black Sea. “They have little fins… you’ll see them along the bottom kind of jumping along… they look kind of similar to sculpin, which are native fish,” explains Murray. She notes that what makes gobies able to out-compete Michigan’s native fish is their “really good sensory system… that allows them to see in complete darkness,” says Murray, noting that ”this gives them a huge advantage to other fish” in similar habitats.

With the COVID-19 pandemic intensifying, the 2020 holiday season is unlike any other in modern history. Many gatherings with family and friends won’t take place, and performing arts venues across the country remain shuttered. After over nine months, pandemic fatigue is palpable.
Still, people are finding ways to connect and celebrate, including the students of Interlochen Arts Academy. On Dec. 12 and 15, respectively, Academy students will sustain and reinvigorate two popular Interlochen holiday traditions,
The Nutcracker and Sounds of the Season.
Although these familiar events will look a little different this year, tenacity, resilience, and gratitude energize them like never before.
