Beautiful Lake Michigan

Lake Michigan-Respect her, protect her, give her love, don't neglect her!

Action alert! What can be done to protect Lake Michigan!

"A 19-pound Asian carp has been found near the shore of Lake Michigan, above a navigation lock that regional political leaders had been demanding the Army Corps slam shut to try to keep the invaders out of the world's largest freshwater system.

The fish confirms what DNA evidence had been telling fishery managers for months - that Asian carp had indeed breached an electric fish barrier on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, considered the last line of defense for Lake Michigan.

The bighead - nearly 3 feet long - is the first actual Asian carp found above the barrier, despite weeks of netting on the canal system and a $1.5 million fish-poisoning program last month." Written by Dan Egan
