Take Action
Tell Illinois Leaders: Block Asian Carp Now!
Please sign our petition urging immediate action to prevent Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes
Stopping the steady march of invasive Asian carp up Illinois waterways toward Lake Michigan is of highest importance to the Great Lakes’ future. These dangerous invasive species will wreak untold environmental and economic damage if they successfully infiltrate the Great Lakes.
It’s a danger that Great Lakes residents fully recognize, based on the results of a recent Great Lakes Basin Partnership to Block Asian Carp survey. It showed that more than 90 percent of Great Lakes residents agree that the time is now to block Asian carp from destroying our beautiful waters.
The Great Lakes Basin Partnership to Block Asian Carp wants the federal government to move forward as soon as possible with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ plan to block Asian carp migration at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Joliet, Illinois.
But we need Illinois’ full support also.
The state of Michigan is willing to pay – costing Illinois taxpayers nothing – but the Army Corps can’t move forward without the full support of Illinois. You can help prevent Asian carp from devastating Great Lakes ecosystems by signing our petition urging Illinois leaders to take immediate action at Brandon Road Lock and Dam.
And once you do, please ask your friends and family to add their voice to the effort by signing the petition too!
