Closing Waterway Locks Not Likely to Keep Asian Carp From Lake Michigan, Report Says

摘要

A panel of experts studying various options to control Asian carp found that closing locks in a Chicago waterway leading to Lake Michigan would not guarantee that the fish would be kept out of the lake, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in a report issued June 3.rnThe panel found that "no individual or combination of lock operation scenarios" would lower the risk of the carp establishing themselves in the lake "to an acceptable level," said the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee, a group that includes the corps and other local agencies.
