The Asian carp czar for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency says those with a stake in the
future of the Great Lakes should help educate the public about the
dangers posed by the invasive species.


The Times of Munster reports John Goss
spoke Tuesday at the start of a three-day conference on the state
of Lake Michigan that being held in Michigan City, Ind.


Goss says DNA testing this summer on Lake Calumet on Chicago's
southeast side showed three positive results for Asian carp DNA but
no live fish were found.


      He says researchers at the University of Notre Dame who are
leading the testing will continue their work this winter to better
determine what positive DNA tests reveal about the spread of Asian
carp.

Those with a stake in the future of the Great Lakes should help educate the public about the
dangers posed by the invasive species, says a government official.
