Protecting marine ecosystems takes many forms and a cooperative effort.
Thursday I assisted Major General Peabody of Army Corps of Engineers, Mr. Cam Davis of EPA, and Mr. Charles Wooley of US Fish and Wildlife Service in a meeting with the Michigan Congressional Delegation in Washington DC. The issue of the day was Asian Carp. Will this invasive species get into the Great Lakes? Yesterday's AP article, Asian carp raises fear and loathing on Great Lakes, provides a good summary of the current situation. The State of Illinois, our Federal interagency team and Michigan delegation, led by Congressman Dingle and Senator Levin are committed to minimizing the risk.
