flag Invasive carp threaten the Great Lakes, prompting U.S.-Canada cooperation to prevent their spread.

flag Invasive carp, introduced in the 1970s to control algae, continue spreading through U.S. rivers like the Illinois, threatening the Great Lakes ecosystem. flag U.S. and Canadian officials are collaborating on annual electrofishing surveys in tributaries such as the Grand River to detect and remove carp, though captures remain rare. flag Scientists warn the fish could disrupt native species, fisheries, and water quality if they establish breeding populations, with eradication likely impossible once entrenched. flag Despite political tensions, including trade disputes and remarks about treaties, the threat has united leaders across the U.S. political spectrum and sustained cross-border cooperation.
