Asian carp are a huge problem in the Mississippi River watershed which means it's a huge problem from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River is the largest river system in the US flowing for over 2,300 miles. The basin takes in all or part of 31 states, more than half the country! So it's no wonder that what affects this river affects all of us.
Not to minimize the scope of the problem - it is huge - these folks are doing their part ridding the river of as many carp as they can and having a good old time doing it!
