Great Lakes lawmakers warn invasive carp barrier delays threaten ecosystems
Original: Great Lakes lawmakers say delays on invasive carp barrier threaten ecosystems, economy
Lawmakers from the Great Lakes region say repeated delays in building a barrier against invasive carp put both the lakes' ecosystems and the regional economy at risk. The fish, which have moved up the Mississippi basin, could devastate native species and the multi-billion-dollar fishing and tourism industries if they reach the Great Lakes.
Why now: Ongoing delays in the federal project have drawn fresh criticism from regional lawmakers concerned about ecological and economic damage.
