The first cause people often think of is boating. They think, “Oh, Tahoe is not blue anymore!

    In the past year researchers have discovered that the Homarus americanus consume fresh food as their primary food source which includes clams, fish, mussels, crabs, sea urchins, starfish, marine worms, shrimp, plants such as eel-grass and algae, carrion just like the blue crab, and sometimes other lobsters! The Homarus americanus have two claws that are used for acquiring food and consuming the aliment. One of the claws is used to crush shells and animals with hardened outsides such as clams and muscles to obtain some of the meat inside. The other claw is referred to as the feeder claw or pincher which is more maneuverable and transfers the aliment to its mouth. The Homarus americanis consume food by positioning its mouth close to its prey which is how lobsters with omitted appendages consume their victims!…

While at summer camp one year, I traveled to Green Lake WI, and was so amazed that the water was actually green. On a side note, I remember that WI water always smelled like eggs.…
