There is more evidence that the predatory Asian carp are approaching Lake Michigan, with the new report showing a different route than the Chicago shipping canal being targeted by several Great Lakes attorneys general with remedial legal action.
No doubt those with a vested interested in keeping the shipping canal open and in carp-enabling status quo mode will use the new carp movement finding as an excuse to keep the Great Lakes legal officials and their US Supreme Court motion at bay.
Actually, it re-affirms that any and all means need to be taken immediately to keep these voracious and dangerous fish out of the Great Lakes.
Should they make their way into what is the world's largest system of fresh water, the consequences to commercial fishing and recreation would be devastating.
So it behooves Illinois and federal officials in charge of both waterways to use whatever means are available to block or kill the carp.
Now.
