What can the National Park Service do about VHS?
The four units of the National Park System on Lake Superior and the Grand Portage Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa have developed a plan to protect park and tribal fishery resources from VHS. At Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Superintendent has issued Emergency Restrictions (1) prohibiting ballast water exchange, (2) prohibiting the use of fish parts as bait, and (3) requiring boat decontamination.
