Yes, I would completely agree about educating the public. That's part of what we do, of course, at any given university or other educational institution. That is why we have invasive species courses as well as general ecology courses. We always say that we have to be careful, because this is what they can cause.
Sea lamprey, besides being a terminator, works as a negative flagship species, if I may say so, literally showing people that this is what can happen if we sometimes make decisions that might be the best for certain reasons, but perhaps not. People don't think through all the possible scenarios. I would agree. Education is very important.
