About This Research

It’s difficult to imagine that an environmental problem can also be a solution in disguise. Removal of Asian carp from Midwest waterways addresses two important, but seemingly unrelated issues – invasive species and malnutrition. Depending on who you talk to, these fish are either a bane or a blessing. Discover the connection between humans and nature in surprising ways.
