Just what Lake Superior needs.... another invasive.
This is a great book (if not a little depressing) on what has happened to the Great Lakes since Europeans arrived: The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, by Dan Egan.

Seems like we will never learn...

It's an easy fix really, shut down the commercial shipping and be prepared to pay more for goods.

No. You are incorrect. There are measures that can be taken and are affordable. No method will be 100% effective all the time, but significant improvements can be made. It is a matter of political will and a resilience against the "end of the world as we know it" narrative spouted by the the various shipping and other corporate interests.
We can do more - and at little expense. It is a matter of priorities and a conscious decision that our environment is important enough to save. Ruin our environment and it will cost us tremendously more (and I am talking real dollars, not some ephemeral, feel-good morality, either, although that is true, also) than taking necessary steps to save our waterways.
Sorry for the rant... but these ridiculous knee-jerk responses set me off.
