Asian Carp Action Plan

The Asian Carp Action Plan is a set of strategies aimed at preventing Asian carp, an invasive fish species, from spreading into the Great Lakes and other water bodies. These carp threaten native ecosystems and industries by outcompeting local species for food and habitat. The plan includes measures such as preventing carp from entering new waters, controlling their populations in existing areas, and increasing monitoring and response efforts. Overall, it’s a coordinated effort among government agencies, scientists, and communities to protect aquatic ecosystems and maintain healthy, balanced fisheries.
