It seems that the people who live around and depend on the great lakes for their living have found a new enemy. The Asian carp is coming to town and they don’t like it at all. Imported to America to help keep fish ponds in the south clean, they have been migrating north ever since. They are now threatening to take over the great lakes and ruin the tourist and fishing trades.
Many steps are being taken to stop the fish cold. Electric fences, lock closings, and even poison have been tried. So far, the efforts have been successful, but it would only take a few to get started with the takeover. I hope that these efforts will be successful and want to remind everyone about the dangers they impose when they import foreign species.
