White House official to discuss Asian carp fight - Fox 28: South Bend, Elkhart IN News, Weather, Sports
Member Center:
A conference in Lansing will let federal and state officials and scientists update representatives of Michigan's fishing and tourism industries on the fight against Asian carp.
The conference Tuesday is sponsored by the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, the Michigan Boating Industries Association and the Michigan Lodging and Tourism Association.
Keynote speaker is John Goss, the Asian carp director for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Also scheduled to give briefings are state Attorney General Bill Schuette and Patricia Birkholz, director of Michigan's Office of the Great Lakes.
Michigan is among five states suing the federal government and Chicago officials over their operation of shipping locks and a canal that could provide a pathway to Lake Michigan for Asian carp, which some believe could starve out native Great Lakes fish.
