New Carp Czar


It's a Bird, It's a Plane...


No, It's a giant, jumping Asian Carp. Escapees from southern catfish farms, the Asian Carp have been moving north for years. Now, they are approaching the Great Lakes.


Already, Asian Carp represent 9 out of 10 fish in the Illinois River.


In order to prevent this invasive species from invading the Great Lakes fisheries, the Obama Administration has appointed a "Carp Czar" to keep the fish downstream.
