their population. Some of the implication that is associated with this new discovery to the ecosystem is that they are causing major problems. They are clogging underwater infrastructures, costing taxpayers billions of dollars to fix the problems they are causing (http://seagrant.oregonstate. edu). They also strip nutrients away from nearly all the water in the lakes in a single day which turns the entire ecosystem upside down. The purpose of this lab is to track the effects of Zebra and Quagga
more than that. Canals have endless effects on America and the rest of the world. The Erie canal is a great example of one of those canals.

All of Anna Atkins’ works have a few things in common: plants are the subjects and they use the method of cyanotype. Because Anna Atkins had a penchant for botany and scientific illustration , she often documented plants in her photographic works as a hobby. This documentation was often done using the photographic process called cyanotype, a photographic process that produces a cyan blue print, as observed from the blue in the background in all of her works. In addition, she tends to include the
Lake Victoria is the largest freshwater Lake in Africa (also largest tropical Lake) and the second largest in the world after Lake Superior in the United States. Its surface area is approximately 68,635km2. Its greatest length is about 400km and its breadth is about 320 km. The shoreline is very irregular and totals some 3,300km in length. It contains about 2,760 cubic kilometres of water with an altitude of 1135m above mean sea level. Much of the Lake is relatively shallow, reaching a maximum depth
