Donald Trump on Tuesday highlighted his efforts to combat a “rather violent and destructive” species of fish in the Great Lakes, and called on the region’s governors for help.
Trump said he and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were working to protect the lakes from Asian Carp, an invasive species that threatens the region’s fisheries. In this instance, the name “Asian Carp” refers to four species that were introduced into the U.S. from Asia and Europe in the 1970s: the bighead, silver, black, and grass carp.
According to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, “preventing the introduction and establishment of invasive carps is the only effective approach to sustaining the valuable Great Lakes fishery.”
