Grass Carp are a major threat to the ecological and socio-economic balance of the Great Lakes Basin. These voracious feeders would have serious negative consequences to biodiversity, angling, wetlands, and so much more if they were to establish. This webinar will focus on the biology of Grass Carp, their impacts, and how you can help prevent their establishment in the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes.
