SUPREME COURT GIVES ASIAN CARP ACCESS TO THE GREAT LAKES FISHERY


"In news this week the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from Michigan, and other Great Lakes states, who have been working for an immediate shutdown of the locks to halt Asian carp’s progression into our area. In response Camp said:

"I’m disappointed the Supreme Court has declined to hear this case. I believe the 800,000 people whose jobs depend on the Great Lakes fishery deserve their day in court. However, I am continuing to focus on a permanent solution. I believe we should begin the serious conversation about achieving hydrological separation in a way that permanently keeps Asian carp out of the Great Lakes while also improving shipping in the Chicago area."
