GREAT NEWS for the #GreatLakes! The GLC applauds the states of Illinois and Michigan and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for signing a project partnership agreement (PPA) for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project. This project, which was originally authorized in 2020, is a key component of the region’s longstanding efforts to protect the lakes from invasive carp. Preventing invasive carp from entering the Great Lakes is a team effort, and the Great Lakes community is stepping up to meet the moment. Read our full statement 👉 https://ow.ly/ur8350Su7Hi
