Habitattitude

These fish were found in Rock Pond on the University of Minnesota Duluth Campus. Goldfish can cause many undesirable changes to the environment when released from aquariums.

It's happening across the country on University campuses. Drunk little freshman, has to be a freshman, are throwing the prizes they got from their highschool prom into the lagoons and lakes on their university campuses. DUMB. Ever heard of Habitattidue freshman?

Go on, try to say it, Habitattitude. Campaign partners hope this new word will become common among aquarium owners and water gardeners. Habitattitude™ is the name for a national public campaign launched September 23 in Las Vegas, NV. The campaign is designed to help aquarium and water garden owners become part of the solution in preventing the release of aquatic fish and plants. The campaign's logo and "don't release" message will soon appear on fish bags, new aquariums, brochures, and ads in hobbyist magazines. This is due to a cooperative effort among the pet and water garden industries, academia, and the federal government.
