Asian Carp and other matters!
I am posting this here as this forum (Western Lake Erie Fishing REPORTS) generates the most traffic.
I do not think this is a place for political views to be aired and this post is not in any way meant to stir the political pot! But news is news and this sounds really important to me and should be to all of us who love our Great Lakes no matter which Great Lake we use or which political party we choose to affiliate with. So with that being said I most humbly ask for your tolerance in this matter. Here is a link that should make all of us concerned. It is from the Associated Press and time date stamped 8:22 a.m. EDT, July 24, 2013.

Let's hope they get the funding they need. I see it as an investment that will save jobs, which in turn will help maintain a tax base. I know there are some who don't see it that way and won't see the consequence until it is too late.
The problem is everyone wants to balance the budget and this is what we can expect when the knife cuts.......sometimes it is to the bone and sometimes you bleed to death.

Thanks for the Post
Cause for concern in my book too. Wakina, No need to apologize for posting this. It is news and it is what it is - penny wise and pound foolish. It is going to take research, education, and funding to implement the solutions needed to turn the algae problem around. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative provides that. The Great Lakes State have 20% of all the fresh water in all the world at our backdoor, and we can't afford to take care of this National Treasure? What the rest of the world wouldn't give to have this water! And just in Ohio, just our one lake is worth $10.5 Billion in economic activity from tourism!
