Asian Carp Knocking at the Great Lakes’ Door;
Michigan Attorney General Seeks To Slam It Shut
New threat to the lakes reopens century-old legal battle over diversion of Great Lakes water, draws support from several states and Ontario.

Asian carp, possibly the most devastating in a series of invasive species to threaten the Great Lakes ecosystem, may be a few short miles from Lake Michigan after a decade-long migration up the Mississippi River.
Michigan wants to slam the door shut on the voracious fish before they enter the Great Lakes and destroy the region’s $7-billion-a-year sport fishing industry or threaten the $16 billion spent on recreational boating each year.
To that end, the state’s Attorney General Michael Cox filed suit in the U.S. Supreme Court Dec. 21 demanding that Illinois close the Chicago-area shipping canals and locks that connect to Lake Michigan. Cox has also asked the court to take other steps to block the carp from making the leap into the planet’s most abundant freshwater source.
