Regular Meeting: Marc Gadden from the Great Lakes Fishery

three Bills now in the House and Senate that would stop the ballast
water dumping by the freighters. Everyone can help by
contacting their House Rep. or Senator. Marc also talked about
the electric wires on the Chicago Rivers to stop the Asian Carp from
getting into Lake Michigan. Marc said the Lamprey population
was under control in Lake Huron due to the hard work of the
Fisheries Commission and the help of the Steelheaders. Marc
