According to a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, the federal government will allocate $13 million to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. The money will come from the $475 million fund that Congress appropriated for a comprehensive restoration of the Great Lakes.
The $13 million "will be used for engineering projects to prevent the carp from slipping into Lake Michigan near Chicago. They include closing conduits and shoring up low-lying lands between the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal — which leads to the lake — and other waterways."
Stay tuned to the Illinois Environmental Law Blog for more news and developments.
