Senator Kohl’s Statement on EPA Funding for Asian Carp Prevention

12/14/09

 “I strongly support the EPA's decision today to direct $13 million in federal funding towards preventing Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. The Asian carp is a threat to the sustainability of the Great Lakes and its ecosystem. As a Great Lakes Senator, I will continue to support efforts to protect this natural treasure for future generations to come.”
