Asian carps

Marine businesses, recreational boaters and all commercial and recreational fisherman should be encouraging our Congressmen and The White House to  take any action necessary to prevent the migration of Asian Carp towards the Great Lakes. Once achieved, we can then find a permanent solution! The Asian carps voracious appetite and aggressive nature might very well destroy the Great Lakes eco-system as we know it. We can't afford to take this chance. Can you imagine no perch, lake trout, coho, chinook, walleye, sturgeon and dozens of other species being wiped out. A 7 billion dollar a year commercial fishing industry is at stake. The consequences are enormous.
