The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and White House Council on Environmental Quality are hosting a public meeting with an oral comment period about aquatic nuisance species control that will take place at the Erie County Library Friday, Jan. 24, from 4 - 7 p.m. The Great Lakes & Mississippi River Interbasin Study Report identifies eight potential alternatives - from continuing current efforts to complete separation of the watersheds - and evaluates the potential of these alternatives to control the inter-basin spread of 13 aquatic nuisance fish, algae, virus, crustaceans and plants in all life stages with high or medium risk for transfer. This includes the risk for Asian carp to transfer into the Great Lakes Basin and the risk for ruffe to transfer into the Mississippi River Basin. To view the report, meeting details, register to speak, or make an online comment, please visit glmris.anl.gov/glmris-report/.
