Bad news for Great Lakes anglers
It now appears that Asian carp have breached the multimillion-dollar barrier designed to keep them from entering the Great Lakes.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, carp have been found just 8 miles from Lake Michigan, 17 miles beyond an electronic barrier built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Biologists believe the species, which has a tendency to dominate any ecosystem it enters, could ultimately wreck sport fishing in the Great Lakes. Recreational boating could suffer as well; the carp tend to jump when spooked (see photo), and have been known to clobber unsuspecting boaters.
