On July 1, the States of Michigan and Illinois signed a historic partnership agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to cosponsor construction of the Brandon Road Project, which will install a series of anti-carp technologies at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Illinois – substantially reducing the risk of invasive carp becoming established in the Great Lakes. The GLFT has supported this priority of the Great Lakes community for nearly two decades providing a series of grants to many of the organizations central to this outcome. "The Great Lakes represents a $2.3 billion fishery for Michigan alone," said Amy Trotter, chief executive officer for Michigan United Conservation Clubs, and Great Lakes Fishery Trust Board Member. "Congratulations to Governor Pritzker, and all the Great Lakes partners for finalizing this important project to protect the Great Lakes from invasive carp."  #InvasiveCarp #GreatLakes #fisheries
