Is this some sort of epifiny? 

 

So they cut Lamprey abatement and their was an increase in lampreys 

 

And it took a team of 15 scientists from 6 agency to confirm this .

 

Wow .

Well, having been on Lake committees for many years with the NY, PA, OH and ONT fishery folks as well as the folks above them, they all rely on data to support their position or back up their decisions.  That is  a common theme.  I agree, cut Lamprey treatments and they will increase as well as the damage they do.  (Dont water plants and see if they die?? LOL)  They are very data driven folks, whether wrong or right, it's just the system.  They the use that data, deemed factual, to make recommendations and decisions. In this case, it helps present a very god argument or reason to make sure they maintain the treatments.  Now they they have the proof , altho it was obvious as to what the results would end up)
