Michigan: Fear Over Asian Carp Brings Request to Close Waterways

The New York Times December 2, 2009 By The Associated Press

There are several fears that the Asian carp will enter the Great Lakes and eventually wipe out other fish so there is a demand that the government should close the waterways connecting the lakes and the Mississippi River. Environmental groups and Gov. Granholm have asked Michigan's attorney general to force the Army Corps Engineers to temporarily shut down the three shipping locks near Chicago.
It's a little frightening how the Asian carp may enter the Great Lakes and sweep out the other fish. Hopeuflly the government and the army corps engineers make a plan to eliminate this situation.
